[Python-Dev] Grammar change in classdef

I've been porting the grammar for pydev to version 2.5 and I've seen
that you can now declare a class in the format: class B():pass
(without the testlist)

-- from the grammar: classdef: 'class' NAME ['(' [testlist] ')'] ':' suite

I think that this change should be presented at
http://docs.python.org/dev/whatsnew/whatsnew25.html

I'm saying that because I've only stumbled upon it by accident -- and
I wasn't able to find any explanation on the reason or semantics of
the change...

Thanks,

Fabio
