This makes
tp_dictoffsetandtp_weaklistoffsetcompletely opaque for C heap allocated types created through PyType_FromSpec.The type system already provides a way to pass in readonly primitive types. This uses that mechanism to pass in the offset values through the two keywords:
__dictoffset__and__weaklistoffset__. This then extends the type system to sniff for these values to set the offsets into the type.To provide uniformity, the passed in member types are required to have a
