Summary: In 2.2, types are inheritable, &c

Initial Comment:
http://python.sourceforge.net/devel-

docs/ref/class.html says that "Each item in the 

inheritance list should evaluate to a class object" -- 

no mention of 2.2's highlight, that a type can also be 

there?



Is there any mention anywhere in the 2.2a2 language 

reference manual of 2.2's new features?  Maybe I'm 

missing something, but I can't see any -- iterators, 

generators, __slots__, etc, etc.

Dealt with first part of this in Doc/ref/ref7.tex revision 1.37.



Regarding the second part of this:  How much of this belongs

in the language reference?  Is Jython following CPython

regarding new-style classes, or does it differ?



Marked "pending" so I can ignore the issue until someone

comments on it.  ;-)

Is it worth keeping this bug report?  We know that the

documentation is incomplete.  I'd say close it.
