The object returned by ``super()`` also has a custom :meth:`__getattribute__`
method for invoking descriptors. The call ``super(B, obj).m()`` searches
``obj.__class__.__mro__`` for the base class ``A`` immediately following ``B``

``m`` is returned unchanged. If not in the dictionary, ``m`` reverts to a
