> Amusingly, this is because of an old hack to make directly calling somedict.__getitem__ fast: https://github.com/python/cpython/commit/8f5cdaa784f555149adf5e94fd2e989f99d6b1db

But what's the use case of making somedict.__getitem__(x) fast? One should just write somedict[x] instead.

If PEP 580 or PEP 590 is accepted, it should be easy to simply make wrapper descriptors such as somedict.__getitem__ faster, removing the need for METH_COEXIST.
