super
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The super message is a special type of message, which allows messages
to be sent to an object's superclass. This is a very important
capability, since in a subclass method, it is often necessary to invoke
a method of the same name in a superclass. The way to do this is by
using the super message, as follows:
obj:super:message
Many examples of this can be found in the sample code on the Class(y)
distribution disk.
Sending the super message to an object returns a reference object
which is in fact the same object flagged as though it belonged to its
superclass.
