Fixes #392
As noted by @JukkaL, conceptually, subscripting generic classes should not create independent class objects (type should be erased at runtime). In particular, class variables should be shared between subscripted generics and original class.
Here I implement this semantics using a custom
__setattr__
.@gvanrossum There is a question (assuming we agree that this is needed) whether this should go in 3.6.1 that has "feature freeze" in less than a week, or should we postpone this until 3.6.2?
