[New-bugs-announce] [issue34362] User-created types with wrong __new__ can be instantiated

[ppperry]

New submission from ppperry <mapreader at olum.org>:

If you have a class that defines __new__ to the __new__ of another builtin type that it isn't a subclass of:
>>> class X:
...    __new__ = tuple.__new__
Instantiating this class should produce an error because `tuple.__new__` can't handle non-tuples, but instead it succeeds:
>>> X()
<__main__.X object at 0x00000000032C3F98>
