Now that I think about it, your proposal seems to address only one of
super()'s three forms
(http://docs.python.org/lib/built-in-funcs.html#l2h-72):

1. super(type)
2. super(type, instance)
3. super(type, type)

If your intention is to remove the first and third forms from the
language, please justify their removal in your PEP, including your
proposed work-around for their use-cases.
