[New-bugs-announce] [issue4712] Document pickle behavior for subclasses of dicts/lists

[Georg Brandl]

New submission from Georg Brandl <georg at python.org>:

When unpickling dict subclasses, the dict is filled via setitem before
__setstate__ is called.  This, and other behavior around subclasses of
classes that have special pickle behavior should be documented.
