While the patch itself looks good, we should be aware that this changes
semantics: Before this patch, lack of .parent is identical to .parent =
TYPE_OBJECT; with this patch that would become another base class.
Should be mentioned in the commit message and all TypeInfos need to be
reviewed. I don't think accidentally growing base classes is a good
idea. Maybe whitelist valid base classes in type_register_static() and
abort otherwise? Then at least we'd catch it by just running the
executables.

Is this really safe? Before we would only copy the contents of derived
classes. Missing some explanations IMO.

Thanks for moving these down.

Is there a reason not to make them static const just before
register_types()?
