inheritance

Is there any point at all on inheriting from Type class in .Net?

i.e. What could be the meaning of doing so?

I am asking this because of this text in MSDN documentation:

Notes to Inheritors When you inherit from Type, you must override the following members... list of members.

MSDN doc for Type: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.type.aspx

ok, that is actually saying that anyone can inherit from Type... but they dont say why would you ever want to do that.

Thanks!
