... and are exactly why I asked the OP to write up a PEP. This isn't my proposal, so it's not up to me to make the decisions. For what it's worth, my answers would be: __name__ would be the textual representation of exactly what you typed between "def" and the open parenthesis. __qualname__ would be built the exact same way it currently is, based on that __name__. Zero-argument super() would behave exactly the way it would if you used a simple name. This just changes the assignment, not the creation of the function. So if you're inside a class, you could populate a lookup dictionary with method-like functions. Abuse this, and you're only shooting your own foot. Zero-argument super() outside of a class, just as currently, would be an error. (Whatever kind of error it currently is.) Maybe there are better answers to these questions, I don't know. That's what the PEP's for.
