An interesting hack, but more localized in scope than GH-135230.

This may be a breaking change if people intentionally keep the original class around
when using @dataclass(slots=True), and then use __dict__ or __weakref__ on the
original class.
(cherry picked from commit 46cbdf9)

An interesting hack, but more localized in scope than pythonGH-135230.

This may be a breaking change if people intentionally keep the original class around
when using `@dataclass(slots=True)`, and then use `__dict__` or `__weakref__` on the
original class.
