[issue16345] dict.fromkeys() assumes 'self' is empty

[Benjamin Peterson]

Benjamin Peterson added the comment:

I wonder what the semantics should be. I would like to just clear the dictionary that is returned from __new__ but you're also allowed to return custom classes from __new__ which we might not know how to clear.
