There may be more implications and surprising behavior surrounding this.

I know that the implementation is a compromise, but I'd rather see a super() whose full semantics can be explained to programmers without using to "cell variable", "flocalsplus" and "symtable".

In consideration of what's been said about super() in the past, and what is handled here regarding its Py3 implementation, I want to make a step back, and ask:

Has super() proved more useful than harmful? Which is the value for Py3 to keep it?
