Could you re-read my original message, please? Sugar is *everything*
in this case. If the functionality is to be implemented via a __metaclass__
hook, then it should be considered a hack that nobody in his right mind
should use. OTOH, if there is a specific syntax for it, then it means
this the usage
has the benediction of the BDFL. This would be a HUGE change.
For instance, I would never abuse metaclasses for that, whereas I
would freely use a 'create' statement.
