I haven't tested it, but if Samuele's patch would work for you Phillip,
then I see no problem in adding it. But ...

Exactly! If this change turns out to interact poorly with the up-comming
2.2 "descr" change it might be removed again. So for the moment the
PyMetaClass hook should be considered an experimental feature.

OTOH, if you can deliver an ExtensionClass compatible module, then it is
an excellent argument in favor of keeping the proposed PyMetaClass hook.
