This version of method overloading was what I liked most about Greg's
patch.  Note that I also prefer:

class SubClass(Class):
    super_init = Class.__init__

    def __init__(self, a, *args, **kw):
        self.a = a
	self.super_init(*args, **kw)

I've been happy to have all the overridden methods explicitly labelled
at the top of a class lately.  It is much easier to change the class
hierarchy later.
