@serhiy-storchaka I accidentally deleted my forked repository, so I can't update my old PRs. Is it possible for me to get update permission for my PRs?

Doesn't seem to work for me either. Would you like to create a new PR?

Nice. Since adding __getnewargs__ affects not only copy(). but also deepcopy() and pickling, please add tests for them. If they fail, it is good to, we only need to ensure that they do not produce wrong result.
