[Tutor] new classes and default attribute

[Lloyd Kvam]

An instance of the builtin types will return its value when referenced.
 >>> class I(int):
... 	pass
...
 >>> i = I(123)
 >>> i
123

An instance of a "normally" defined class returns type information.
 >>> class O(object):
... 	pass
...
 >>> o = O(123)
 >>> o
<__main__.O object at 0x016F0420>

Where does this difference in behavior come from?  Is there a __????__
that can be used when defining a class to get similar behavior?
