+The new :c:func:`PyType_GetDict` provides the dictionary for the given type
+object that is normally exposed by ``cls.__dict__``. Normally it's
+sufficient to use :c:member:`~PyTypeObject.tp_dict`, but for the static
+builtin types :c:member:`!tp_dict` is now always ``NULL``. :c:func:`!PyType_GetDict()`
+provides the correct dict object instead.
