Problem:
On the page http://docs.python.org/lib/built-in-funcs.html, there is a
description about "super(type[,object-or-type])": Return the superclass
of type. If the second argument....
This is NOT true. it will actually return an instance of the type
"super", instead of "the superclass of type".

Suggested fix:
Return a new instance of the type "super".

Should be clarified in r66067.

In the future, please choose a more specific title for your bug reports :)
