The metaclass *metaclass* is used to construct the resulting type object.
When *metaclass* is ``NULL``, the default :c:type:`PyType_Type` is used
instead. Note that metaclasses that override
:c:member:`~PyTypeObject.tp_new` are not supported.

The *bases* argument can be used to specify base classes; it can either
be only one class or a tuple of classes.
If *bases* is ``NULL``, the *Py_tp_bases* slot is used instead.

Added the new function :c:func:`PyType_FromMetaclass`, which generalizes the
existing :c:func:`PyType_FromModuleAndSpec` using an additional metaclass
argument. This is useful for language binding tools, where it can be used to
intercept type-related operations like subclassing or static attribute access
by specifying a metaclass with custom slots.

Importantly, :c:func:`PyType_FromMetaclass` is available in the Limited API,
which provides a path towards migrating more binding tools onto the Stable ABI.
