[issue39111] Misleading documentation

[Murali Ganapathy]

Murali Ganapathy <murali at google.com> added the comment:

===
# python3
class Base:
  def __eq__(self, other):
    print("base called")
    return super().__eq__(other)


class Foo(Base):

  def __eq__(self, other):
    print("foo called")
    return NotImplemented

Foo() == Foo()
# foo called
# foo called
False
====

Base.__eq__ is not called here. Is calling of object.__eq__ special cased?
