​FYI, I've been sketching an alternative solution that addresses these
kinds of things. I've been hesitant to post ​about it, partly because of
the PEP550-based workarounds that Nick, Nathaniel, Yury etc. have been
describing, and partly because that might be a major distraction from other
useful discussions, especially because I wasn't completely sure yet about
whether my approach has some fatal flaw compared to PEP 550 ;).
