Yes, using execution in this context is very confusing. The main thing
with this patch is to find the best replacement. If you're ok with the
new name or can't think of a (even potentially) better name, that's
all we need. :-)

There are many of these from_dict methods. Maybe we should just put
the logic into __init__ and not use the constructors generated by the
dataclass decorator. Or we could also use your suggestion. I don't
know that they should be class methods, it doesn't make that much of a
difference (is there an appreciable one? Apart from the nicer typing).
It's worth making a bugzilla ticket for this though.
