Note that I purposefully wrote "roughly" in the docs ("The type is roughly
equivalent to the following code:"). That code was meant to illustrate the
functionality rather than be proscriptive of the implementation. That said, it
certainly would be good for the documentation to match. :)

This is true of many of the types exposed by the types module (e.g.
types.CodeType).

My preference would be as outlined in my previous comment: make it a builtin.
However, I'm not in a position to make that happen at the moment.
