These slots are marked "should be treated as read-only" in the table at the start of the document. That doesn't say anything about setting them in the static struct. `tp_bases` docs did say that it should be ``NULL`` (TIL!). If you ignore that, seemingly nothing bad happens. However, some slots may not be inherited, depending on which sub-slot structs are present. (FWIW, NumPy sets tp_bases and is affected by the quirk -- though to be fair, its DUAL_INHERIT code probably predates tp_bases docs, and also the result happens to be benign.) This patch makes things explicit. It also makes the summary table legend easier to scan.
