As I'm still not convinced that super() is very
useful in the first place, I'm not sure I want
it made into a keyword at all.

I'd rather see syntactic support for making a
normal inherited method call without danger of
using the wrong class, e.g. if you change a
base class but forget to update inherited calls
to match.
