These flags are used by functions such as
:c:func:`PyLong_Check` to quickly determine if a type is a subclass
of a built-in type; such specific checks are faster than a generic
check, like :c:func:`PyObject_IsInstance`. Custom types that inherit
from built-ins should have their :c:member:`~PyTypeObject.tp_flags`
set appropriately, or the code that interacts with such types
will behave differently depending on what kind of check is used.
