+   If a base that appears in a class definition is not an instance of
+   :class:`type`, then an ``__mro_entries__`` method is searched on the base.
+   If an ``__mro_entries__`` method is found, the base is substituted with the
+   result of a call to ``__mro_entries__`` when creating the class.
+   The method is called with the original bases tuple, and must return a tuple
+   of classes that will be used instead of the base. The returned tuple may be
+   empty: in these cases, the original base is ignored.
