Description

Feature or enhancement

The _ctypes extension implements types as static types. They should be converted to heap types: see issue gh-103092 for the rationale.

Problem: the PyCStgDict type is kind of special, it's a "metaclass" which creates a new class and then replaces the class namespace (type dict) with a custom "stgdict". See the PyCStructType_new() function.
