I'm sold on the super(self) syntax and whacked together a quick & dirty 
patch. I made my changes in Objects/super.c, rather than the AST as you 
suggest. Determining __this_class__ ('A' in your example) without 
touching the AST is obviously going to be problematic, but even *with* 
the AST how would you propose we determine the "current" class?

I've attached my patch irrespective. All relevant changes are within 
super_init.

Forgive the ignorance, I'm relatively new to this stuff :)

Cheers,
Tom
