Larry Hastings added the comment:

Special cases aren't special enough to break the rules.  If the signature of a metaclass is "(object_or_name, [bases, dict])", then we must not special-case it to pretend that "(object)" works.  I agree it's a bad idea to actually *do* that, but there are best-practice principles at stake here.
