Comment (by SimonKing):

 Some further questions (in addition to my question about the rĂ´le of
 _included_private_doc_):

 Why is `__all__ = ['ClasscallType', 'ClasscallMetaclass', 'typecall',
 'timeCall']` added? Isn't importing also possible without that? Or is it
 needed to make `from sage.misc.classcall_metaclass import *` work?

 Why is there a two-step cythonisation? I mean, why is there a cdef class
 `ClasscallType` implementing the special methods, and then
 `ClasscallMetaclass` defined by double inheritance from `ClasscallType`
 and `NestedClassMetaclass`? Wouldn't it be better/easier/faster to cdef
 `NestedClassMetaclass` as well, and then cdef `ClasscallMetaclass`
 directly, without having the `ClasscallType`?

 I guess the typecall function will be useful in other modules (e.g., when
 cythonising dynamic_class). But it only is def. Shouldn't it rather be
 `cdef inline`?

 Concerning the timing tools provided in the module: Is there still no
 "central" location for all aspects of timing? I thought there were
 occasional discussions on sage-devel about a benchmark/timing framework.
