I wasn't thinking in that much detail, TBH. I'm not sure adding a
whole set of new slots is sensible for such a specialised case. I
think I was more assuming that the special method implementations
could use an alternative calling convention, METH_STACK in place of
METH_VARARGS, for example. That would likely only be viable for types
implemented in C.

But either way, it may be more complicated than the advantages would justify...
