I assume there was something wrong with the patch as posted, as it looked
like the new code used 1-space indents.  It also looked like it was made
against an out-of-date version of typeobject.c (please use current CVS as a
base -- the newer type/class code is unusually volatile).

Apart from those, go for it!  It reminds me of something my first boss in
the computer biz said.  He looked at one of my checkins and remarked "Tim,
you seemed to add comments to parts of the code you didn't understand!".
The difference is that he was complaining <wink>.

Indeed.
