I'm confused about the following. The idea here is that the set of

at class creation time, then hijack __new__ to simply return one of the
preexisting classes instead of creating a new one each call.
I'm surprised it works in Python3. Try this in Python 2 instead:
Foo.__new__ = staticmethod(__Foo__new__)
Excellent. Thank you.
