That seems wise to me, too, but the the explicit __init__ test in
test_deque seems to argue otherwise. Maybe the test in error.

Moreover, the behavior of deque.__init__ may actually contradict
its doc string.

>>> help(deque.__init__)
Help on wrapper_descriptor:

__init__(...)
    x.__init__(...) initializes x; see x.__class__.__doc__ for signature
