returned a proxy for __class__ whose __bases__ was also a proxy.  The

I will backport this to 2.2 as well.

Fixed string and dict conversion, and implemented booleans and numbers (int and float). I think we now have enough CFType support to start on plists and CFpreferences!

Transparent handling of unknown CFType objects still TBD.

pymalloc?

Avoid checks for negative indices and duplicate checks for support of
the sequence protocol.
