Inside the grammar for classes[1], the documentation states that the inheritance list can be of type: "(" [argument_list [","] \| comprehension] ")" The "comprehension" part seems to be superfluous, especially as it is valid grammar without the clause. The 2.7 docs state just "[expression list]", so either the addition should be justified or the extra clause removed.
