TODO: There are possible optimizations over looking up the base type in this way

  • if the base type is known in this module, can potentially look it up directly in module state (when we have it)
  • if the base type is a Python builtin, can jut call the C function directly
  • if the base type is a PyO3 type defined in the same module, can potentially do similar to tp_alloc where we solve this at compile time
