Thanks Benjamin, that is a very interesting feature that I can't find
documented anywhere. Is there perhaps a documentation bug that can arise
from this? There are various places where the differences between old
and new-style classes are documented to a greater or lesser degree, eg:
http://www.python.org/download/releases/2.2.3/bugs/
Is this documented somewhere currently that I missed, or could it be
incorporated somewhere?

thanks,
D
