Summary: Unicode docstrings and new style classes

Initial Comment:
Unicode docstrings don't work with new style
classes. With old style classes they work:
----
class foo:
   u"föö"
class bar(object):
   u"bär"

print repr(foo.__doc__)
print repr(bar.__doc__)
----
This prints
----
u'f\xf6\xf6'
None
