I guess a potential problem is that if you do

class C(object):
    __metaclass__ = A

class D(object):
    __metaclass__ = B

class E(C, D):
    pass

class F(C, D):
    pass

you'd like both E and F to have the *same* (rather than merely
equivalent) metaclasses.  This would seem to be tricky to arrange.

Cheers,
M.
