Summary: Make isinstance/issubclass overloadable
Initial Comment:
I came up with a fairly simple way to overload isinstance() and issubclass(). The class that is the second argument can define a (class) method named __instancecheck__ or __subclasscheck__ which, if present, will be called *instead* of the normal approach.
The names are different to remind users that the calling convention is the opposite -- isinstance(x, C) maps to C.__instancecheck__(x).

Oops, forget the first attempt; isinstance(Integer(), Integer) would be
False! Now it's True, and more tests are added.
