Metaphyla, of course.

But it's obvious that kingdoms are metaphyla, and it would be silly for 
one phylum to inherit from another (let alone for a phylum to inherit 
from a class), so couldn't we just claim that Foo inherits from Baz and 
be done with it:

    phylum Foo(Baz):
        pass

For some definitions of "SO" and "much," yes.  ;-)
