Leaving custom metaclasses aside.
1. All python data values are instances of some class.
2. Every class is a instance of the metaclass 'type'.
3. Every class is a subclass of the base class 'object'.
Some implications.
4. All objects, including classes, get their basic instance behaviors
from 'object', except as over-riden by other classes in the inheritance
chain. These basic behaviors include default comparisons and
representations. See 'dir(object)'.
5. Classes get their special class behaviors from 'type'.
