The alternative would be to make it a keyword, which seemed excessive (plus, it would be odd if super() were a keyword when self is not).
If it's really such a useful thing as to warrant so much magic to support it, then I think it deserves to have a keyword.
Conversely, I would say that if it doesn't deserve a keyword, it also doesn't deserve that much magic.
