I'm going to weigh in here. I checked the spec, and it's clear that 
super is not allowed except as the receiver in a message send. Whether 
this should be supported as an extension is another question (and not 
one that I can answer satisfactorily, seeing as I don't use 
Objective-C), but even if we do support it as an extension, it should at 
least give a warning in all cases.
