############ Maintenance notes #########################################
#
# ABCs are different from other standard library modules in that they
# specify compliance tests.  In general, once an ABC has been published,
# new methods (either abstract or concrete) cannot be added.
#
# Though classes that inherit from an ABC would automatically receive a
# new mixin method, registered classes would become non-compliant and
# violate the contract promised by ``isinstance(someobj, SomeABC)``.
#
# Though irritating, the correct procedure for adding new abstract or
# mixin methods is to create a new ABC as a subclass of the previous
# ABC.
#
# Because they are so hard to change, new ABCs should have their APIs
# carefully thought through prior to publication.
#
# Since ABCMeta only checks for the presence of methods, it is possible
# to alter the signature of a method by adding optional arguments
# or changing parameter names.  This is still a bit dubious but at
# least it won't cause isinstance() to return an incorrect result.
#

## Notes on Decimal
## ----------------
## Decimal has all of the methods specified by the Real abc, but it should
## not be registered as a Real because decimals do not interoperate with
## binary floats (i.e.  Decimal('3.14') + 2.71828 is undefined).  But,
## abstract reals are expected to interoperate (i.e. R1 + R2 should be
## expected to work if R1 and R2 are both Reals).
