The following:
```
class Meta(type): pass

class X(metaclass=Meta):
    def __class_getitem__(cls, key):
        return key

X[10]
```
Results in 
```
TypeError: 'Meta' object does not support indexing
```

However, PEP 560 specifically states that __class_getitem__ should be used as fall back for when a metaclass does not implement __getitem__.
