 * The ``PyTypeObject`` declaration in ``cpython.object`` was extended.

-* The ``type`` type is now declared as PyTypeObject in source, allowing
-  for extern functions taking type parameters to have the correct C signatures.
+* The builtin ``type`` type is now declared as PyTypeObject in source,
+  allowing for extern functions taking type parameters to have the correct
+  C signatures.  Note that this might break code that uses ``type`` just
+  for passing around Python types in typed variables.  Removing the type
+  declaration provides a backwards compatible fix.

 * ``wraparound()`` and ``boundscheck()`` are available as no-ops in pure
  Python mode.
