neat! I made a video about this recently heheh

fwiw, backporting this to 4.6 will be tricky, since you may have raised old-style classes (covered in the video) where type(obj).__name__ will always return "instance"

Oh no, the backport is to the 5.4.x branch. We have changed the meaning of the backport labels since we changed the development workflow to remove the features branch.

@bluetech do you remember where we wrote that down? 🤔

ah I figured as much, the label still says 4.6 though 😆

Ahh fair enough, I will update the descriptions! 👍
