 \section{Built-in Types \label{types}}
 
 The following sections describe the standard types that are built into
-the interpreter.  Historically, Python's built-in types have differed
-from user-defined types because it was not possible to use the built-in
-types as the basis for object-oriented inheritance. With the 2.2
-release this situation has started to change, although the intended
-unification of user-defined and built-in types is as yet far from
-complete.

 The principal built-in types are numerics, sequences, mappings, files
 classes, instances and exceptions.
