super
The super message 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 easiest way to do this is by using the super message,
as follows:
obj:super:message()
Note that the result of a super message is just a reference to the
original object, so it does not usually make sense to save this value. See
Reference Objects for more information.
