Actually sorry I just answered my own question-- I guess it depends on
what the call signature is on __getitem__.
If it looked like this:
def __getitem__(self, key=(), **kwargs):
...
Then you get () as the key. But if the signature looks like this:
def __getitem__(self, key, **kwargs):
...
Then you will get a TypeError.
