Why does it matter?  I did actually read the rest of your post, but
this failed to leap out at me (apologies if I'm being dumb).

There's no real answer -- there's just not that much difference
between user-defined new-style classes and builtin types (part of
their appeal!) but checking the TP_HEAPTYPE flag in tp_flags may go
some way towards one.
