Alas, not, for backwards compatibility reasons.  Pickle protocols 0
and 1 can't be changed, and their pickles must be acceptable for
Python 2.2, whose unpickling code doesn't know how to deal with slots.
(Ditto for the semi-bozo __reduce__ inherited from object.)

I could try to remove the bozo __getstate__ and move the check into
the pickling code; that would certainly remove a wart from the code
there.
