Actually this is the Right Thing to do for super. It is something
to be aware of, not something to change. Since __name__ is
a descriptor defined in the type metaclass and not an attribute
defined in the base class, super correctly does not retrieve it.
It is enough to add some documentation about "super" caveats
and nonobvious points.
What I really dislike is super called with only one argument since
it has many unpleasant surprises and not real advantages :-(
