Previously, we constructed new ops using the pattern `class MyOp(MyInt.Operation)`.

Now we’ve added a new pattern: `class MyOp(Operation, dialect=MyInt)`, which allows more flexible composition. For example:
```python
class BinOpBase(Operation): # it can be used in any dialect!
  res: Result[Any]
  lhs: Operand[Any]
  rhs: Operand[Any]
  
class AddOp(BinOpBase, dialect=MyInt):
  ...
```
