problem_statement: TypeError when one of the type hints is type or another metaclass
Using `type` (or any other subclass of `type`, e.g. a custom metaclass) as the type hint for one of the parameters of a function of a multimethod makes the dispatch process raise a `TypeError` when calling `type.mro()` (which expects the type object as an argument).

## Example

```python
@multimethod
def f(x: type):
    print("success")
```

### Expected

```python
>>> f(int)
success
```


### Actual

```python
>>> f(int)
TypeError: unbound method type.mro() needs an argument
```

## Cause

Methods of metaclasses like `type`, e.g. `.mro()` expect an explicit first argument which is the actual type object being used.
