Summary: metaclass causes __dict__ to be dict

Initial Comment:
class Meta(type):
    def __new__(meta, name, bases, dict):
        return super(Meta, name).__new__(meta, name,
bases, dict)

class AClass:
    __metaclass__ = Meta

print type(AClass.__dict__)

With 2.2.2, this prints dict-proxy.
With 2.3, this prints dict.

As you noted, it should always be a dict-proxy to
prevent people from getting the __dict__ and the tp
slots out of sync.

I should address this next, since it apparently causes Zope3
problems.
