You should never want to do this. If you want the behaviour of the
superclass, you should be using an instance of the superclass
directly. Your workarounds would probably work, but the idea itself
blatantly eliminates all the benefits of polymorphism. I'd be very
careful about ever using that type of setup without careful
consideration of the way the relevant components are related.
