The ``__mro__`` attribute of the *type* lists the method resolution search

If the second argument is omitted, the super object returned is unbound. If
the second argument is an object, ``isinstance(obj, type)`` must be true. If
the second argument is a type, ``issubclass(type2, type)`` must be true (this
is useful for classmethods).

There are two typical use cases for *super*. In a class hierarchy with
single inheritance, *super* can be used to refer to parent classes without
naming them explicitly, thus making the code more maintainable. This use
closely parallels the use of "super" in other programming languages.

The second use case is to support cooperative multiple inheritance in a
dynamic execution environment. This use case is unique to Python and is
