Summary: grammar for "class" inheritance production slightly wrong

Initial Comment:
http://www.python.org/dev/doc/devel/ref/class.html lists 
the grammar for a class statement, including an optional 
inheritance production of  "(" [expression_list] ")".

expression_list is *not* optional.  If the inheritance 
production (the parentheses) is present, then the 
expression list must be present (non-empty) as well.
