Subject: Syntax for calling super implementation when overriding a method

Hello Per,

I see that there's syntax (this) for referring to the current instance.

When I'm defining a class hierarchy, and I'd like to override a method in a
subclass, is there a similar syntax, i.e. (super)?

For now, I'm doing this (superclass:method instance ...), but it'd be nice
not having to explicitly name the superclass.


Thanks!
