http://python.sourceforge.net/devel-
docs/ref/class.html says that "Each item in the 
inheritance list should evaluate to a class object" -- 
no mention of 2.2's highlight, that a type can also be 
there?

Is there any mention anywhere in the 2.2a2 language 
reference manual of 2.2's new features?  Maybe I'm 
missing something, but I can't see any -- iterators, 
generators, __slots__, etc, etc.

Is it worth keeping this bug report?  We know that the
documentation is incomplete.  I'd say close it.

Dealt with first part of this in Doc/ref/ref7.tex revision 1.37.

Regarding the second part of this:  How much of this belongs
in the language reference?  Is Jython following CPython
regarding new-style classes, or does it differ?

Marked "pending" so I can ignore the issue until someone
comments on it.  ;-)
