I had one today, which is what led me to discover this.
I'm working on a Python-Ruby bridge that wraps Ruby
objects and classes in Python objects.

I wanted to make isinstance() and issubclass() work in
the expected way when applied to wrappers around Ruby
classes. The ability to fake things using __classes__
and __bases__ turned out to be very handy.
