The second form should also work.
Agreed.
I've checked this under bpo-32278.
I have a bunch of pending changes for dataclasses. I'll add this.

Thanks Eric and Ivan. You're both very responsive. I appreciate the enormous efforts you're putting in to getting this right.
I suggest two other fix-ups:
1) Let make_dataclass() pass through keyword arguments to _process_class(), so that this will work:
Point = make_dataclass('Point', ['x', 'y', 'z'], order=True)
And I've checked this in under bpo-32279.
2) Change the default value for "hash" from "None" to "False". This might take a little effort because there is currently an oddity where setting hash=False causes it to be hashable. I'm pretty sure this wasn't intended ;-)
I haven't looked at this yet. Eric.
