Summary: pickle fails to reduce class instances as documented

Details: According to the documentation of module copy_reg, copy_reg.pickle registers reduction functions for types and classes, which are then used by module pickle to reduce objects to a function and a tuple of arguments.  However, module pickle (and probably also cPickle) does not use registered reduction functions to reduce class instances.  Therefore, either the documentation of module copy_reg or the implementation of module pickle (and cPickle) is wrong.
