It's not at all clear to me that passing along *args, **kwargs is the most
common thing. While I've done that at times, it's been the exception rather
than the rule.
I expect the most valuable aspect of some new syntax is to replace the
super(MyClass, self) with something shorter; possibly super(MyClass,
self).thismethod. Something like this seems sufficient:
--------------------------------------
class Derived(Base):
def method(self, *args, **kw):
supercall(*args, **kw)
self.did_this = True
--------------------------------------
