This is also possible, but there's a problem with what parseClass should do:
The easy way out is using something like (1), then parseClass returns this exact
proxy object with overridden __new__.
In the other case, parseClass would return a new type, but then it has to create
code (objects) which is executed afterwards (when SubClass is created) -- which
is more or less what the ui compiler does.

Or is there another way I don't see?
