    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 \code{PyTypeObject *}, except when the incremented reference
+   count is needed.
