KeyError: '__le__' when Patching Built-in Rich Comparison Methods #80

Description

@mohasarc

First off, I love the work you did with forbiddenfruit, it's been super useful!

I have encountered an issue while trying to monkey-patch rich comparison dunder methods (like __le__) on built-in types such as list, int, float, dict, and set.

Basically, when attempting to curse list.__le__, I receive a KeyError: '__le__' at _curse_special (specifically override_dict[attr]).

# Test code
from forbiddenfruit import curse
original___le__ = list.__le__
def custom___le__(self, other):
    print("custom___le__ called!")
    return original___le__(self, other)
curse(list, '__le__', custom___le__)
a = [1]; b = [2]
print(a <= b)

# Traceback observed:
#   File ".../forbiddenfruit/__init__.py", line 334, in _curse_special
#     tp_as_name, impl_method = override_dict[attr]
# KeyError: '__le__'

Looking at the source code, I noticed this comment "# Type not declared yet"

('tp_richcompare', ctypes.c_void_p), # Type not declared yet

Does that mean it is possible to support this functionality, but it is not currently implemented?

Note: I'm using Python 3.12.8
