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

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

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