No meta-type in Python?

[Chris Ryland]

Just out of curiousity, why is there no <type 'type'> in Python?

I.e., I'd expect type(Ellipsis) to be <type 'type'> rather than
<type 'ellipsis'>.

I realize this is opening a can of worms about meta-types (cf.
Smalltalk's (and other languages) theoretical completeness in this
area), but simply looking for enlightenment from the experts.
