thanks.

Actually the documentation about types does not mean to explain the types in
a systematic way. It just tries to explain how to practically use them
implicitly and explicitly, and to point out where one should pay attention.
Classes surely should be discussed, but it didn't come into my mind when I
prepared the documentation. It will be discussed when I update the document.

I have paid attention to the variance of types in some situations, but I am
not very sure if it is without problems. Until now, I still feel there are
still many things to be improved in the typing system. It would not be
surprising if there are hidden problems regarding this.

You are right. I will change this. Thank you for pointing out this.

I am glad that, every time I announced the language in the python mailing
list, I received good comments and suggestions more often than in other
mailing lists and groups, that's why python mailing list is one of the first
places coming into my mind when I plan for an announcement of Dao;)
