Why is dataclass a decorator instead of a metaclass (or, as below,
pseudo-metaclass) anyway? Is it just that the decorator syntax looks nicer? If
it were a metaclass, it could add __slots__ before constructing the class.
def slot_dataclass(name, bases, dct):
dct['__slots__'] = dct['__annotations__'].keys()
return dataclasses.dataclass(type(name, bases, dct))
If the problem is that the metaclass syntax is ugly, maybe we need a
nicer-looking metaclass syntax, e.g. "class MyClass(bases) as slot_dataclass:"
