I'm not a metaclass wizard, but I have submitted a few doc patches
trying to address some of the inaccuracies in the description of
new-style classes and related matters:
http://www.python.org/sf/1123716
http://www.python.org/sf/1163367
The problem is that they don't seem to get accepted (even when
accompanied by positive comments). And unfortunately, I don't currently
have time to do the 5 reviews for 1 deal offered by some of the
python-dev folks.
