[docs] [issue13658] Extra clause in class grammar documentation

[Joshua Landau]

New submission from Joshua Landau <joshua.landau.ws at gmail.com>:

Inside the grammar for classes[1], the documentation states that the inheritance list can be of type:
"(" [argument_list [","] | comprehension] ")"

The "comprehension" part seems to be superfluous, especially as it is valid grammar without the clause.

The 2.7 docs state just "[expression list]", so either the addition should be justified or the extra clause removed.
