super is a lexically scoped concept. You cant ask the instance for it since it's value is different depending on in which it is needed

oh, you want people to be able to inherit from classes using super?

guess we'll have to use

    sys._getframe().f_back.f_method.im_class

instead, then ;-)

(any special reason why frame objects don't contain a pointer to the corresponding function/method object?)
