with finalizers. (The "get attribute" and "set attribute" methods
are still called __get__ and __set__, respectively.)
+- Some subtle issues with the super built-in were fixed:
+
+ (a) When super itself is subclassed, its __get__ method would still
+ return an instance of the base class (i.e., of super).
+
+ (b) super(C, C()).__class__ would return C rather than super. This
+ is confusing. To fix this, I decided to change the semantics of
+ super so that it only applies to code attributes, not to data
+ attributes. After all, overriding data attributes is not
+ supported anyway.
+
+ (c) The __get__ method didn't check whether the argument was an
+ instance of the type used in creation of the super instance.
