Why would it require a metaclass? Rather than just: ...
Because I want the following to be true:
``` x = Struct[x=int, y=str](...) assert isinstance(x, Struct) assert isinstance(x, Struct[x=int, y=str]) assert not isinstance(x, Struct[x=int, y=int]) ```

Using `Struct(x=int, y=str)` requires a metaclass, where `Struct[x=int, y=str]` does not.

class Struct: def __init__(self, **kws): ...
Yes, that won't get you the MRO for T, but neither can __getitem__() on an entirely different object Struct.
A class factory is also an option, of course.
