Summary: Wrong "type()" syntax in docs

Initial Comment:
>From the current docs:

  type(object):
      Return the type of an object. The return value
      is a type object. 

>From the interpreter:

>>> help(type)
Help on class type in module __builtin__:

class type(object)
 |  type(object) -> the object's type
 |  type(name, bases, dict) -> a new type

In the documentation is missing the second syntax form.

The accuracy of the above depends partly on the context.

Within a function or method which has "type" as a parameter
the type function described above is no longer accessible.
