Description

I am trying to use Abstract Base Classes. But I find the documentation lacking on several points that makes the matter too 'abstract'.

For example. There is no explanation on making abstract objects mandatory by using exceptions

Or how to implement Iterable abstract bsse class that can be inherited from and still be usable.

Can someone shed more light onto this so that the documentation is more accessible?
