Although it's not a very obvious spelling,
particularly to the casual reader who may not be
familiar with the intricacies of classes and
metaclasses. I don't think it would hurt to have
it available as a __future__ import as well.

There's also the advantage that all of a
module's future assumptions could then be
documented uniformly in one place, i.e. in
a __future__ import at the top.
