So how is this different from the current situation? If you don't
specify __slots__, you get the default __dict__ behaviour, if you do,
and use a tuple, you get the __slots__ behaviour, and you can easily
tell which by checking the type.

You also have the case of both __slots__ and __dict__ being in a type,
and this is a useful case also.
