Research direction
The migrated issue points to type-slot-calls.diff and the historical pull requests python/cpython#1861 and #1883; start by reviewing those artifacts and the interpreter-core code they reference. Confirm whether the optimization is still needed and whether the existing proposals cover it before attempting work; done would require an accepted implementation with performance validation.
