FEEDBACK WANTED: Type/class unification

How about

    >>> class MyList(list):
    ...   def __getslice__(self, *args):
    ...     raise AttributeError, "__getslice__"
    ... 
    >>> x = MyList()
    >>> x.__getslice__()
    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
      File "<stdin>", line 3, in __getslice__
    AttributeError: __getslice__

?
