Don't worry, the traditional form of super call in Python
isn't going away any time soon. It's not replaced by this;
they do different things.

The new form is occasionally needed, but not very often.
I haven't found a use for it myself yet. (I *thought* I
had found one the other day, but it turned out I hadn't.)
