Yep. Notice (I am sure you understood the point correctly, but just to clarify) that I am not interested in random occurrences of super, but in code/frameworks expressly designed to leverage on cooperation and doing it in a compelling way. IOW, I want to see cases where using cooperation is really better than relying on other techniques. Guido gives an example in http://www.python.org/download/releases/2.2.3/descrintro/#cooperation with a .save method, so in theory there are good use cases, but I wonder in practice how common they are and if they are frequent enough to justify the added complication.
