Because then I have to remember to change the name if I should happen to
change the base class, or copy this code into another class.

Then you'd need use the full class name, of course.  The search order is
well-defined, so super() is still meaningful.  However, in that case, you
are rapidly getting into a design that is too complicated to understand at
