and I don't think that FunctionType would be considered an "internal
detail", would it? Not that I'd cite the fact that not all types can be
inherited from as evidence that types and classes are not synonyms, mind.
Actually, I'm not sure how you'd go about inheriting from a function.
Why not just create a bare class, then assign its __call__ to be the
function you're inheriting from?
No idea. I wasn't suggesting that trying to inherit from FunctionType
was a sensible thing to do; I was merely pointing out that slice's
status as an internal feature was not IMO relevant to the point that
Antoon was making.
