Ah.  Cool.  If you build your extension with ExtensionClass, then the
doc strings
of your extension types and their methods will be accessable too. 

How does gendoc tell that it's found a class?  If it checks for
type(o) is ClassType, then it won't find ExtensionClasses, but if it
checks
for __bases__ it will. :-)
