[Python-Dev] PEP 3135 (new super()) __class__ references broken in 3.3

I don't understand why PEP 3135 cares how it's implemented. It's silly
enough that you can get the class by "using" super (even just
referencing the name). Thus that you can get __class__ reeks of more
an implementation detail than a feature to me.
