This is one of those changes that needs way more work in documenting it 
than the actual code change itself.

Please also make sure you update CHANGES.txt in Martian, and I think 
it's better to be safe than sorry, in Grok as well, when you make a 
change like this.

In addition, update doc/upgrade.txt (add a 0.12 section) and tell people 
what to do (use grok.baseclass() explicitly in those cases 'Base' was 
relied on). Refer to this from CHANGES.txt in Grok.

Updating the CHANGES.txt is important for almost all changes, so please 
get in the habit of doing it.
