Read a little further: This module does not copy types like module, 
method, stack trace, stack frame, file, socket, window, array, or any 
similar types. It does ``copy'' functions and classes (shallow and 
deeply), by returning the original object unchanged

The only attribute of b itself is .__class__ == B, which as the above 
says, is 'copied' by not being copied.  So either shallow or deep copies 
  of b will have .__class__ == the original B with its original instance 
of a.
