While it seems that super() is the 'modern paradigm' for this,

quite happy with it.
I too would be very disappointed if base.method(self, ...)
became somehow deprecated. Cooperative super calls are a
different beast altogether and have different use cases.
In fact I'm having difficulty finding *any* use cases at
all for super() in my code. I thought I had found one
once, but on further reflection I changed my mind.
And I have found that the type checking of self provided
by unbound methods has caught a few bugs that would
probably have produced more mysterious symptoms otherwise.
But I can't say for sure whether they would have been
greatly more mysterious -- perhaps not.
