But nobody decorates new with a @staticmethod. And making classgetitem a @classmethod will only confuse users -- that's all I'm saying.

So I'm +1 to keep the things exactly as they are now. It would be great do document that in order to implement classgetitem in C one should add it as METHSTATIC. I also think we should merge your PR that tests that it works the way it's expected.

In this case I suggest to make class_getitem an automatic class method like init_subclass.

The number of special cases bothers me.
