Maybe a side question: The tuple initializer could be a bit confusing now that we allow arbitrary object (I also always forget which order Subclass and Baseclass should have). Should we consider deprecating that syntax and move people to use |

Looks great, thanks!
Should we consider deprecating that syntax and move people to use PyClassInitializer directly?
I fully agree that syntax is painful, let's do it in a follow up just because it's a big enough change worth landing, reviewing & documenting in its own PR.

This refactors the code generation for
#[new]/ pyclass initialization. It uses the same const probe trick we already use elsewhere in the macro machinery to dispatch the initialization based on the return type of the#[new]function. This removes theExistingcase from thePyClassInitializer, making it easier to solve passing arguments to the base__new__in a followup. Additionally it allows to return arbitrary object implementingIntoPyObjectfrom__new__which also takes over theExistingcase.Closes #3291
