Description

Documentation

The term is mentioned in the entry for "abstract base class", and points to the abc page for details. "Virtual subclass" deserves an entry of its own.

    I have a small docs-only patch ready (a new virtual subclass glossary entry plus a :term: link from "abstract base class") and will open it as a PR. @meutex, if you were already working on this, I am happy to defer.
