Please make a concrete proposal (a PR or somesuch). That will make it much easier to determine whether a particular bit of word-smithing is a improvement.

Of the issues discussed so far, these are the most promising:
* Document how the zero argument form of super() infers its arguments.
* Be clear that it is the mro of type(self) that determines the search path and that the role of super() is to the next in the mro after the current class.
