I think this a bad idea. It's all down to statistics:
- how many times will this feature hide an error (you had classes but wanted
instances)
- how often do you do this type of check
Anecdotally I pretty much never use issubclass. But I do sometimes miss parents
so I get a class when I wanted an instance.
