Hmmm.
I've just counted more than 1600 usages of `super` in my
sandbox. And all my tests pass.
How does that square with the title of the rant you quote:
Python's Super is nifty, but you can't use it
?
Although the rest of `super-harmful` is slightly better than the
title, the premise of James Knight is utterly wrong:
Note that the __init__ method is not special -- the same thing
happens with any method
