Why `issubclass()` doesn't check it?  Maybe, non-type class is supported by Python.  But I'm not sure.  I'm not meta programming expert.

But we use "duck typing".  In this case, if the object (a) supports weakref and (2) has __mro__ and it is tuple, we treat the object as a class.

And when raising TypeError, information about which assumption was broken may be useful.

So I'm -1 on adding such strong check or removing internal information without meta programming expert advice.
