The Python C API has the `PyObject *PyType_Type` object, which is
equivalent to `type` in the interpreter. If I want to define a metaclass in
C++, how can I set `type` as one of its bases in Boost.Python? Also, what
other things should I take into consideration when defining a Python
metaclass in C
