Well, languages that have "class variables" can define a class variable
that knows the class of the method that is executing, and implement
"super" functionality on top of that.

But personally I agree with Guido's sentiments about the whole thing.
If you don't know which method you are going to get using super, aren't
you liable to get the wrong one?
