This is the essence of your problem. Your “override” cannot be a convenience
initializer because convenience initializers cannot call “up” to the
superclass, and it cannot be a designated initializer because designated
initializers cannot call convenience initializers. For one solution, see here:

Answering the same question in another way, look at the comments for
init(type:) in the NSDocument header file:

This tells you exactly what the superclass convenience initializer does, and
the fact that it’s in the header file makes the behavior a public API contract.
So, you are allowed to implement your own subclass convenience initializer
(that throws) which does *not* invoke super, but simply does what the super
method is documented to do. (That’s basically the solution given on Stack
Overflow.)
