I'm not sure how useful this idea is, but I'm pretty sure I wouldn't
like a new keyword. Also, the keyword only allows a single baseclass
to be specified, so how about
class b(parent=a):
def m(self): ... parent.m() ... # Calls a.m()

(although there will probably be scoping rule problems here with the
current implementation).
