The metaclass used to create fake classes. To support comparisons between
fake classes and :class:`FakeModule` instances custom behaviour is defined

If the other object does not have ``other.__name__`` set, they are not equal.

Else, they are equal if

Using this behaviour, ``==``, ``!=``, ``hash()``, ``isinstance()`` and ``issubclass()``
are implemented allowing comparison between :class:`FakeClassType` instances
and :class:`FakeModule` instances to succeed if they are pretending to be in the same
place in the python module hierarchy.
To create a fake class using this metaclass, you can either use this metaclass directly or
inherit from the fake class base instances given below. When doing this, the module that
this fake class is pretending to be in should be specified using the *module* argument
when the metaclass is called directly or a :attr:``__module__`` class attribute in a class statement.
