[issue8525] Display exceptions' subclasses in help()

[Nick Coghlan]

Nick Coghlan <ncoghlan at gmail.com> added the comment:

I've merged the version that displays up to 4 builtin subclasses in a flat list when help() is called on a type. Thanks for the patch Sanyam, and for the comments and suggestions everyone else.

While I'm closing out this feature request as implemented, if anyone's interested in pursuing the more sophisticated showtree/getclasstree approach that would better show position in the class hierarchy (both parents *and* children), feel free to file a new enhancement issue that refers back to this one.
