Summary: Wrong "type()" syntax in docs
Initial Comment:
>From the current docs:
type(object):
Return the type of an object. The return value
is a type object.
>From the interpreter:
>>> help(type)
Help on class type in module __builtin__:
class type(object)
| type(object) -> the object's type
| type(name, bases, dict) -> a new type
In the documentation is missing the second syntax form.

cjwhrh's comment doesn't seem relevent. It is generally true
of ALL builtins that they can be shadowed by local variables.
Facundo is probably right that the newer use of type() should
be documented.

The accuracy of the above depends partly on the context.
Within a function or method which has "type" as a parameter
the type function described above is no longer accessible.
