P.S. If you uncomment the commented-out line, and comment out the last line of the __init__ method (which installs self._delitem as self.__delitem__) then *all* the deletion attempts invoke the __delitem__ method, and are therefore blocked. FWIW.
Because subclasses of builtins only check the class __dict__ for special method overrides, not the instance __dict__.
