Also note that the patch also adds the same sugar to classes, so you could use it in lieu of metaclasses for some cases (like transforming some members that follow a naming convention into properties):

class Foo(object) [type]: ... pass ... Foo <type 'type'> FWIW, I'm rather less convinced this is useful.

Me too, because you can do it with metaclasses... but then again, composing metaclasses is a pain in the butt.
