New submission from Борис Верховский boris.verk@gmail.com:

As far as I can tell, passing `(object,)` and `()` as the `bases` parameter to the 3-argument version of type() produces the same result, because classes inherit from `object` in Python 3:

...

...

type('X', (object,), dict(a=1)).__bases__

(<class 'object'>,)

...

...

type('X', (), dict(a=1)).__bases__

(<class 'object'>,)

I just want to make sure I'm not missing something and update the documentation of `type()` to reflect that.
