What do you mean? I don't see any mention of __bases__ in the discussion.
Perhaps related, if the syntax indeed were like this (as suggested by
Mark?):
@implements(List[int])
class Tokens(list):
...
then I would expect List[int] to be in __implements__ or something like
that.
But how to interpret that? Maybe something like "List describes the
interface/API that list has"?
