[issue20751] Misleading descriptor protocol documentation: direct call, super binding

[Martin Panter]

Martin Panter added the comment:

Lower-case “a” is defined at the top of the list: “The starting point . . . is 
‘a.x’.” The last entry may fit in better if it was written “If binding to an 
instance of ‘super’ ”.

The problem with the m() call is also mentioned in Issue 25777, about the 
descriptor how-to.

Issue 12077 seems to be largely about the __get__ signature.
