    When \var{o} is non-\NULL, returns a type object corresponding to
    the object type of object \var{o}. On failure, raises
!   \exception{SystemError} and returns \NULL.\bifuncindex{type}
!   This is equivalent to the Python expression \code{type(\var{o})}.
!   This function increments the reference count of the return value.
!   There's really no reason to use this function instead of the
!   common expression \code{\var{o}->ob_type}, which returns a pointer
!   of type \ctype{PyTypeObject*}, except when the incremented reference
!   count is needed.
