[issue28884] Python 3.5.2 non-segfaulting bugs (from PyPy)

[Armin Rigo]

Armin Rigo added the comment:

(B5) this is an old issue that was forgotten twice on the
  issue tracker: ``class C: __new__=int.__new__`` and ``class C(int):
  __new__=object.__new__`` can each be instantiated, even though they
  shouldn't.  This is because ``__new__`` is completely ignored if it is
  set to any built-in function that uses ``tp_new_wrapper`` as its C code
  (many of the built-in types' ``__new__`` are like that).
  http://bugs.python.org/issue1694663#msg75957,
  http://bugs.python.org/issue5322#msg84112.  In (at least) CPython 3.5,
  a few classes work only thanks to abuse of this bug: for example,
  ``io.UnsupportedOperation.__new__(io.UnsupportedOperation)`` doesn't
  work, but that was not noticed because ``io.UnsupportedOperation()``
  mistakenly works.
