> In Sling scripts and servlets are equal [0]. However, currently a servlet
> cannot declare a resource super type property, in order to allow delegation /
> overlaying at runtime to another servlet, similar to how component scripts
> can do it through the {{sling:resourceSuperType}} optional property.
> Adding support for another registration property -
> {{sling.servlet.resourceSuperType}} - that accepts a String as value would
> allow to introduce a backwards compatible overlaying and inheritance
> capability. This property should only be considered for the registration
> together with the {{sling.servlet.resourceTypes}}.
> [0] -
