…ke the original class collectible An interesting hack, but more localized in scope than python#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.

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.
