This is also true at least with sun jdk, (one can check the source of the
library classes :)).

The point here to note is that jython give you access to all the methods of the
concrete class of a Java object (inclusive all superclasses methods),
it is not that in case a Java method returns an Enumeration on Jython side
the returned object will offer that limited view of its concrete behavior.
