I meant something like...

Class C:
    replace = heapreplace

Cs = {}

...

if not isinstance(x, C)
    T = type(x)
    cls = cache.get(T)
    if cls is None:
       cls = type('C_'+T.__name__, (C, T), {})
    x.__class__ = cls

(Of course, by dynamically reassigning __class__ and using the type
constructor, this checks two of the three "crazy type system voodoo"
boxes. I have no idea if it will work, or if I've made a mistake, or if
you'll be able to understand it in six months.)
