In Include/classobject.h there's a
PyObject *PyClass_New(PyObject *, PyObject *, PyObject *);

Arguments seem to be:
* tuple of base classes
* class attribute dictionary
* class name

But PyClass_New isn't documented, so I wonder, if it's
part of the official API. At least, the function name does
indicate that it is.
