Honestly, I don’t really understand what you are proposing either, but if I have the gist right, it seems an excellent candidate for a third party library, which I understand you’ve already done.

So what is the argument for putting this in the standard library? Do dataclasses themselves need to be extended to better support this use case?

I think there have not been any replies to this so far because it's too much effort to figure out what you're actually suggesting. Can you try to make the request again, starting with a clear summary and then breaking out some of the details?
