For those that don't recall the original discussion, the proposal is to add a new initclass hook, invoked after the class object is created, but before the class decorators are applied. This provides a simple approach to inherited post-creation modification of classes, without the need for a custom metaclass.

Couldn't one just write a metaclass that calls init_class for you?
