We can't backport the __prepare__ syntax without requiring metaclass
definition on the 'class' line. Because the __metaclass__ definition
can be at the end of the class in 2.6 we can't find it until after we
execute the class and that is too late to use a custom dictionary.
I wish I had thought of that yesterday,
-Jack
