[issue47144] Allow setting __classcell__

[STINNER Victor]

STINNER Victor <vstinner at python.org> added the comment:

> This is unfortunate as there is a use-case for such trickery: if the method of a class A are only used to be grafted onto another class B (monkey patching), A.__classcell__ should be set to B so that super() works as expected.

Would you elaborate your use case?

Would bpo-47143 "Add functools.copy_class() which updates closures" solve your use case?
