Updating the short blob about old/new-style classes to reflect (IMHO) more
...
precisely the motivation and the differences.
Added links to www.python.org/doc/newstyle.html and a footnote to warn against
the statement "x[i] is equivalent to x.__getitem__(i)", which already caused
many invalid bug reports on SF.

[ 1009560 ] Fix @decorator evaluation order
From the description:
Changes in this patch:
- Change Grammar/Grammar to require
newlines between adjacent decorators.
- Fix order of evaluation of decorators
in the C (compile.c) and python
(Lib/compiler/pycodegen.py) compilers
- Add better order of evaluation check
to test_decorators.py (test_eval_order)
- Update the decorator documentation in
the reference manual (improve description
of evaluation order and update syntax
description)
and the comment:
Used Brett's evaluation order (see
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2004-August/047835.html )
(I'm checking this in for Anthony who was having problems getting SF to
talk to him)
