New submission from Gobot1234 <gobot123...@gmail.com>:
I'd like to propose making the error message when subclassing typing.NewType
much more understandable. Currently it looks like:
```
TypeError: NewType.__init__() takes 3 positional arguments but 4 were given
```
But I think we could do much better by adding __mro_entries__ to the class and
then just having that raise a TypeError telling users they cannot subclass
NewType and they are probably looking for `NewType('Subclass', OlderType)`. I'd
be happy to patch this myself if this sounds like a good idea.
