[New-bugs-announce] [issue42269] Add ability to set __slots__ in dataclasses

[Eric V. Smith]

New submission from Eric V. Smith <eric at trueblade.com>:

I resisted adding the ability to set __slots__ in the first version of dataclasses, since it requires that instead of modifying an existing class, an entirely new class is returned.

But I think this feature would be useful enough that I'm now willing to add it. I have the code ready, I just need to work on tests and documentation.
