Ah sorry for the misunderstanding. The fix for the mswindows attribute ended
up being in cmd2 (subprocess.mswindows is a private attribute that got renamed
in Python 3.5). I've reported that to the cmd2 project and fixed it in the
Ubuntu version of the package.

The issue for cliff is that inspect.getdoc() lookup now follows class
hierarchy so a test fails when the one-liner description of some options come
from the first line of a base class docstring.
