This is just an example that I want to offer to the community to help
improve overall documentation in the handbook.

I've attached the example file, but it's also available on my journal
post with example output: http://yaneurabeya.livejournal.com/3437.html

BTW, the documentation item that this should be attached to is:
http://docs.python.org/reference/datamodel.html#emulating-container-types

I think we've got this covered with the examples for the collections
module ABCs.  We have one for ListBasedSet and are adding a link for to
an OrderedSet recipe.   The ABCs themselves provide a clear path on how
to implement major container types.  The UserDict, UserList, and
UserString classes are also worked-out examples.

May I add that the given example is flawed:

1. it shares the data dictionary between all instances
2. just delegating all container interfaces to a dictionary does not
really show how to customize your own container.

Maybe the documentation for other examples should be referenced then?
