It's hard for me to imagine that situation coming up, but yes, __slots__ does indeed have a purpose.

BTW, have you considered using the complex type to handle that for you? It's 2d and ints should be safe in float representation. If it overflows it'll crash nicely.

Good one. But let's say I want something mutable, so complex won't do.
