Summary: Cannot call objc.super on NSObject

Initial Comment:
While super(type, self) works fine when subclassing types higher up in the class hierarchy, for plain old subclasses of NSObject (a common case with appdelegates), super will not work.

A workaround is to use NSObject.init(self), but it's potentially confusing for newcomers.

Example:

>>> from Foundation import *
>>> class Test(NSObject):
...     def init(self):
...             return super(NSObject, self).init()
... 
>>> t = Test.alloc().init()
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "<stdin>", line 3, in init
AttributeError: 'objc.super' object has no attribute 'init'
>>> from AppKit import *
>>> class Test2(NSDocument):
...     def init(self):
...             return super(NSDocument, self).init()
... 
>>> t = Test2.alloc().init()
>>>
