+  inherited from a builtin base.

 - When __slots__ are set to a unicode string, make it work the same as 
   setting a plain string, ie don't expand to single letter identifiers.

-- Add new requirements for metaclasses.  1) If type or a subclass of type
-  occurs in __bases__, it must occur before any non-type bases, e.g.
-  before regular classes.  2) If you assign to __bases__, you may not

-  are now checked and raise TypeErrors.  This changed fixed at least
