[issue35761] Allow dataclasses to be updated in place

[Eric V. Smith]

I agree that I don't see the point, unless there's something I'm missing with other_instance. Or maybe the proposal is for it to also work with frozen dataclasses? I'm definitely -1 on that.

So unless there's something I'm missing where normal attribute assignment wouldn't work, I'm leaning toward rejecting this. What is it about dataclasses that would need this feature, where regular classes don't? Just do what you'd do with regular classes.
