    Return a generator representing the :term:`lineage` of the
    :term:`model` object implied by the ``model`` argument.  The
    generator first returns ``model`` unconditionally.  Then, if
    ``model`` supplies a ``__parent__`` attribute, return the object
    represented by ``model.__parent__``.  If *that* object has a
    ``__parent__`` attribute, return that object's parent, and so on,
    until the object being inspected either has no ``__parent__``
    attribute or which has a ``__parent__`` attribute of ``None``.
    For example, if the object tree is::

      thing1 = Thing()
      thing2 = Thing()
      thing2.__parent__ = thing1

    Calling ``lineage(thing2)`` will return a generator.  When we turn
