Prior to their conversion to pybind11 classes in matplotlib#24522, these types had `tp_flags = Py_TPFLAGS_DEFAULT`, meaning they did not have the `Py_TPFLAGS_BASETYPE` flag and could not be subtyped. As these are internal classes, I don't believe this was intentionally changed, so restore that flag. Additionally, since we require C++17 now, mark the C++ classes themselves as `final`. I believe this really only makes a difference if we have `virtual` methods (which we don't here), but that doesn't mean the compiler can't infer some other optimizations with this information.

I am not in favour of these changes. None of the C++ classes here are polymorphic, there are no virtual functions, there are no vtables, all function calls are direct function calls and there are no optimisations available. It looks like unnecessary code churn and an increase in code complexity for no tangible benefit. |
