Type[C] is not considered callable

[gvanrossum]

This simple example fails:

from typing import Type, Any, Callable
def f(func: Callable[[], Any]) -> Any: return func()
class C: pass
f(C)  # This is okay
x = C()
f(type(x))  # E: Argument 1 to "f" has incompatible type Type[C]; expected Callable[[], Any]
X = C  # type: Type[C]
f(X)  # E: Argument 1 to "f" has incompatible type Type[C]; expected Callable[[], Any

This is actually present in the mypy test suite (test/test_random.py:49, the second argument to assertRaises()), so I'm treating this as a blocker.

I can't figure out how to solve this quickly, so I'm going to use the # type: ignore for the one place in the mypy test suite where this causes a problem ( in test-data/stdlib-samples/3.2/test/test_random.py).
