er, I think you've lost some context - these particular statements were 
regarding an aside about a hypothetical opcode that would be defined to call 
__newobj__, which could be defined other than by calling __new__. The function 
could be written to inspect its own arguments more carefully than a general 
constructor, and having that name could constitute advertisement by the class 
that the function is safe to be called by unpickle.

It was the decision to call __new__ rather than __newobj__ in the NEWOBJ opcode 
that I was questioning.
