object() doesn't create a new-style class; it creates an 
instance of class object.

Note that the definition of a new-style class is just a class 
inheriting from object, so object itself is a new-style class.

That said, the distributed documentation should probably have 
something more about "new-style" vs "old-style" classes, and 
should have a reference in the index.
