In Python 3, you should (nearly?) always just call the zero-argument
form of super from inside methods. I think that the only time you need
to specify the arguments yourself is when you are writing a method
outside of the class, and injecting into an existing class:
```
class Spam(Food):
pass
# outside the class, later on.
def method(self, arg):
a = super().method(arg) # won't work
a = super(Spam, self).method(arg) # but this will
return a
Spam.method = method
```
I can't think of any other good reasons for manually providing the
arguments to super, but that doesn't mean they don't exist.
