[docs] [issue9117] class syntax not fully documented in reference manual

[Mark Dickinson]

New submission from Mark Dickinson <dickinsm at gmail.com>:

Looking at:

http://docs.python.org/dev/py3k/reference/compound_stmts.html#class-definitions

I see:

classdef    ::=  [decorators] "class" classname [inheritance] ":" suite
inheritance ::=  "(" [expression_list] ")"
classname   ::=  identifier

this seems to be missing the keyword arguments that are now possible in a classdef (e.g. for specifying a metaclass).  I believe that *args and **kwargs are now also syntactically accepted in a class definition.
