Is anyone available to write up a PEP on how to turn super into a keyword? Inside regular and class methods, super.foo(args) should be equivalent to super(ThisClass, self).foo(args).
As I'm still not convinced that super() is very useful in the first place, I'm not sure I want it made into a keyword at all.
I'd rather see syntactic support for making a normal inherited method call without danger of using the wrong class, e.g. if you change a base class but forget to update inherited calls to match.
