This reference implementation is broken.  It doesn't pass the following
test, for example:

     class A(object):
         __metaclass__ = autosuper
         def f(self):
             if type(self) is B:
                 return "we've got a B"
             else:
                 return "oups"

     class B(A):
         def f(self):
             return Super.f()

     assert B().f() == "we've got a B"

I don't honestly think that you can easily fix the implementation to
pass this test, but I'm ready to check proposed fixes and write tests
for them.  If there is really no working implementation yet then it
shouldn't have been a PEP posted on python-dev in the first place, IMHO
(and the discussion shouldn't go on on python-dev either).

A bientot,

Armin.
