Summary: datetime types don't work as bases

Initial Comment:
This is probably shallow.  Assigned to Guido in case 
it's very shallow <wink>:

>>> from datetime import *
>>> class C(date):
...     def whatever(self):
...         return "oops"
>>> c = C(2002, 1, 1)
>>> c.whatever()
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
AttributeError: 'datetime.date' object has no 
attribute 'whatever'
>>> type(c)
<type 'datetime.date'>
>>>

Was reported on c.l.py.
