[Found by Ezio] The built-in function documentation has what looks like two separate definitions of the built-in function type(): http://docs.python.org/dev/library/functions.html#type These two definitions should be combined into one with a multi-line signature like we're doing for the other built-in functions. |

In other words, change
'''
type(object)
Return the type of an object. ...
...
With three arguments, type() functions as a constructor as detailed below.
type(name, bases, dict)
Return a new type object....
'''
to something like
'''
type(object)
type(name, bases, dict)
With one argument, return the type of an object. ...
With three arguments, return a new type object. ...
'''
Now that we are using double headers elsewhere, I agree we should do so here also.
