[docs] [issue26979] The danger of PyType_FromSpec()

[Petr Viktorin]

1) If I understand correctly, this problem could be solved by per-class C storage? Something like PyModuleDef.m_size / PyModule_GetState, but for classes?

2) Making PyType_GetSlot work for static types would not be trivial. 
All types do have the same *basic* structure (the tp_* fields), but the nb_*/sq_*/etc. fields don't need to be in the same order, and might not exist at all.
Even making it work for the tp_* fields only would bake in some assumptions I do want to get rid of.
I'd like to understand your use case better. Do you have a specific example here?
