OK, I guess it's too easy to confuse the two.  Wouldn't it be more
accurate to say that you don't ``subclass'' a class, but that you
redefine or enhance it ?  You can only subclass a window.

I suggest that the next version of the documentation be clearer on the
terminology and what exactly can and cannot be done.
