A user was wondering why they can't change a docstring in a module's class.
This made me think: why not have a casting operator ("reciprocal"?) to transform a bonafide class into a mere carcass of a class which can then modified and reanimated back into its own type with the type function? Such that "type(reciprocal(myClass))==myClass"... reciprocal(myClass) returns a writeable, nonproxy class.__dict__ (perhaps also a list of its bases and name) Just a thought to consider...
