Similarly,
>>> types.TypeType
<type 'type'>
>>> x = None
>>> for i in range(5):
...   x = type(x)
...   print x
...
<type 'None'>
<type 'type'>
<type 'type'>
<type 'type'>
<type 'type'>
>>> x is types.TypeType
1
>>>

I don't find it humorous at all that there should be a name binding in
the types module for the "type" data type; I find it complete.
