This is for the same reason why int or str do not accept additional
arguments - I don't know exactly, but I followed the implicit standard
for builtin types to check their arguments exactly.
It would be easy to change, if there is a reason that deviates
enough from common practice for builtin types. Otherwise I would
prefer to stick with it. It might also help me to decide if someone
could tell me *why* builtin types are so restrictive with __new__.

(including the list for this question)
