Er, that's easy to misinterpret. Let me try rewording:

You should not invent new dunder methods.

And if possible, you should not call such dunder methods directly. Instead,
use the official protocol (e.g. next(x), not x.__next__()) whenever
possible. The operator module contains many helpers for that.

But of course you may *write* dunder methods.
