and in particular how the implementation finds out where its own instances are located.

I think we've discussed this before, but I don't think this is feasible to solve in general given the diversity of wrapped APIs. If you want to find the arguments in which a class' own instances appear, you will need to do that in your overloaded function.

That said, if merely pulling out the flat list of arguments that are checked for and/or implement \_\_array\_function\_\_ would be enough, we can probably figure out a way to expose that information.

In the end, somewhere inside the "dance", you are checking for \`\_\_array\_function\` - it would seem to me that at that point you know exactly where you are, and it would not be difficult to something like

\`\`\`
types\[new\_type\] += \[where\_i\_am\]

\`\`\`

(where here I assume types is a defaultdict(list)) - has the set of types in keys and locations as values.

But easier to discuss whether this is easy with some sample code to look at!
