#3: super() in class snippet
It would be cool if the class snippet inserted super(...) into the constructor for the class. (Is this possible with clever mirroring?)
Is it common practice to use "super" in python? I know of at least one essay:
http://fuhm.net/super-harmful/
which says no, "Python's Super Considered Harmful". Don't use it. I don't know what the standard practices in the Python community actually are in regards to that particular facility.
If it's controversial, I'm not sure that automatically including it in the standard snippet, and then having most people delete it when it appears, would be a good thing.
