8/// `T: PyLayout<U>` represents that `T` is a concrete representation of `U` in the Python heap.
9/// E.g., `PyClassObject` is a concrete representation of all `pyclass`es, and `ffi::PyObject`
10/// is of `PyAny`.
11///
12/// This trait is intended to be used internally.

29/// - specifying the incorrect layout can lead to memory errors
30/// - the return value of type_object must always point to the same PyTypeObject instance
31///
32/// It is safely implemented by the `pyclass` macro.
