OK. However, this will probably have to wait a month or so until it coincides with things in my development schedule that need it. That might be just as well since I take it Guido plans to change which fields are automatically inherited from base types...

Don't let LaTeX stand in your way: if you have useful docs to contribute, plain text (and the plainer the better) works fine. Several people can convert to proper Python LaTeX in their sleep, and I suspect that's what Fred actually does in his sleep. I feel very comfortable making this offer, since not one of the people who can do this even when awake.
