Oops, sorry about that.

There are a few more:  4.28 & 4.93 seem like they should be merged.
Both talk about compiling Python applications to a stand-alone program.

Also, I updated 4.2, which should be reviewed to make sure it's
accurate?  The title is:  Can I create an object class with some methods implemented in C and others in Python (e.g.
through inheritance)? (Also phrased as: Can I use a built-in type as base class?)
