+ \item One of the noted incompatibilities between old- and new-style
+ classes has been removed: you can now assign to the
+ \member{__name__} and \member{__bases__} attributes of new-style
+ classes. There are some restrictions on what can be assigned to
+ \member{__bases__} along the lines of those relating to assigning to
+ an instance's \member{__class__} attribute.
