Address SF patch #480716 as well as related issues.
SF patch #480716 by Greg Chapman fixes the problem that super's
__get__ method always returns an instance of super, even when the
instance whose __get__ method is called is an instance of a subclass
of super.
Other issues fixed:
- super(C, C()).__class__ would return the __class__ attribute of C()
rather than the __class__ attribute of the super object. 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.
- While super(C, x) carefully checked that x is an instance of C,
super(C).__get__(x) made no such check, allowing for a loophole.
This is now fixed.
