 Users should be able to define a `#[pyclass]` with or without `#[pymethods]`, while PyO3 needs a
 trait with a function that returns all methods. Since it's impossible to make the code generation in
 pyclass dependent on whether there is an impl block, we'd need to implement the trait on
-`#[pyclass]` and override the implementation in `#[pymethods]`, which is to the best of my knowledge
-only possible with the specialization feature, which can't be used on stable.

-To escape this we use [inventory](https://github.com/dtolnay/inventory),
+`#[pyclass]` and override the implementation in `#[pymethods]`.
+To enable this, we use a static registry type provided by [inventory](https://github.com/dtolnay/inventory),
 which allows us to collect `impl`s from arbitrary source code by exploiting some binary trick.
 See [inventory: how it works](https://github.com/dtolnay/inventory#how-it-works) and `pyo3_derive_backend::py_class` for more details.
+Also for `#[pyproto]`, we use a similar, but more task-specific registry and
+initialize it by [ctor](https://github.com/mmastrac/rust-ctor) crate.

 ## Macros
 
-While rust-cpython has a macro based dsl for declaring modules and classes, PyO3 uses proc macros and specialization. PyO3 also doesn't change your struct and functions so you can still use them as normal Rust functions.
