Thanks for the review.

> And adding classmethod() support in super_descr_get() would create tight coupling where there should be separate concerns (no other descriptor call is classmethod specific).

The descriptors `super`, `property`, and functions are already `classmethod` specific since their `__get__(instance, owner=None)` methods return `self` if `instance` is `None`, aren’t they?

I agree that the parameterized factory method use case might be too rare to be compelling.

Yes this proposal is likely too late. I found your autosuper solution quite elegant (no compiler magic) so I wanted to make it work with `classmethod` too after I realized it doesn’t, thanks to Michele’s article.
