I assume the picture will look more like this:
basesequence mutable basebytes bytes array cStringIO mmap immutable unicode tuple basenumber integer float decimal complex
etc.
I've dropped basestring here since we'll probably only have one string type in Py3k. integer covers both int and long. Perhaps we can merge float and decimal by that time as well ?!
