Calvin Spealman has the most recent draft. I hope he will incorporate
this into his draft.

So it is a "keyword" in the sense that None is a keyword; not in the
stronger sense that "if" is a keyword?

As long as you can be explicit, should the shortcut be a full
shortcut? That is,
def f(self, a, b=c, *args, **kwargs):
super() # passes the exact arglist that f got
vs
def __init__(self, myvar, passed_var):
super.__init__(self, passed_var) # flags that you are
changing the args
