But I can't say I particularly like this idea, compared to "super.foo" or even "super(self).foo". In fact, the latter invocation doesn't even require a keyword -- it just means the compiler needs to include a cell variable for the current class whenever it thinks you might be using super().

+1 on super(self).foo. It's SomeLongClassName we want to get rid of, not self. As a bonus, super() and super(cls) have obvious semantics.
