Where does one draw the line between feature and bug?  As a user I'm 
inclined to classify this as a bug:  __doc__ was writable with old-style 
classes; __doc__ is writable with new-style classes with any metaclass; 
and there exists no good reason (that I'm aware of ;) for __doc__ to not 
be writable.
