I'll add both of these, but neither had much support in the original
thread. Also, I don't see that I'm ignoring anything along the line of
"let's fix the super type without making it a keyword", because I am
not advocating it become an actual keyword. I was always under the
impression that was never meant literally. We have no where else where
a keyword looks like an object. At the absolutely most I could almost
see how super may become a constant, a'la None, in 3.0, but never a
keyword.
