jackdaniel: should i explain why the metaclass-based approach makes sense in my view or are fundamentally opposed to it?

scymtym: please do explain. I'm generally opposed to adding a custom metaclass, because it seems to me like an overkill (which adds inconsistency into the system at that, not to mention extra protocols) which may be avoided, but as I've noted if we are going to make /some/ frames have a custom metaclass, I'd rather opt for making all of them have one standard frame metaclass

jackdaniel: ok, but i'm asking whether you are fundamentally opposed = position unchangeable, not matter the argument

jackdaniel
as I've said, I'm willing to change my position up to the point, where there is one standard metaclass for all frames
17:45:17
jackdaniel
as of the current proposal where there is some metaclass mangling, I'm highly sceptical at best

generally (that is, independent of the pull request), that can only be achieved if the user is prevented from supplying the :METACLASS option. i have to look at the spec to see whether there is a restriction in this regard
