Python's super() considered super!

I suspect the larger issue is that Multiple Inheritance is complex, but 
folks don't appreciate that.  Ask anyone about meta-classes and their 
eyes bug-out, but MI?  Simple!  NOT.

On the other hand, perhaps the docs should declare that the built-in 
objects are not designed for MI, so that that, at least, would be one 
less bug waiting to happen.
