PS. I have to ponder why frozen dataclasses don't use `__new__`.
As I'm sure everyone is now aware after the rest of this discussion:
it's because the returned object isn't really immutable.
That said, I have threatened to create a decorator similar to
typing.NamedTuple that has the @dataclass features (except maybe
__post_init__) and returns a class that does inherit from tuple, in
which case it really would use `__new__`. I'll save that for 3.8, if it
ever happens. There's a lot there to think about, first. For now,
typing.NamedTuple is the way to go if you want something based on
namedtuple yet using type hints.
