If super is going to be a keyword (+1) shouldn't it behave like any 
other keyword [1]?

I mean, it's there any keyword (ATM) that uses an attribute access syntax?

Personally, I really like this syntax:

res = super currentmethod(arg, arg)

Why? because it's very consistent (pythonic?) with the way I'm used to 
use any other keyword.

Anyway, thanks for fixing super in python 3000, it's probably the only 
python thing I really hate.

PS
Excuse me if I sound like a noob, that's the first time I post to a 
python dev list.
