+"""The builtin types that are added to the global namespace of a module by the
+intended monkey patching of the engine modules.
+
+.. attention::
+
+   Monkey-patching modules is a practice from the past that shouldn't be
+   expanded upon.  In the long run, there should be an engine class that can be
+   inherited.  However, as long as this class doesn't exist, and as long as all
+   engine modules aren't converted to an engine class, these builtin types will
+   still be needed.
