This all looks good to me except for the final section about "solid bases". That last section should be checked by another reviewer with a stronger understanding of the details.

I don't know if it fits this PR but describing how super() works with multiple inheritance may be interesting!

@ilovelinux super() follows the class' MRO. How lookups work in the presence of multiple inheritance is already documented (though if anything is unclear, suggestions are always welcome!). This issue is about documenting when multiple inheritance isn't possible to begin with.
