I don't think hard coding the name of the super-constructor is a
problem.
It is when you take into account that functions in JavaScript are not bound
to an object, they are generic. You can simply assign any function to any
object and it'll most likely just work.
I think the chances are slim that you can take a function that does a
super call, put it on a different object, and it will 'just work'.
It's a pretty rare case.
"most likely". Also, it should work if |super| were dynamically resolved, as
long as the object implemented what's required by the call.
We can't do dynamic super without adding a parameter to every function call
everywhere (modulo optimization), or simulating Algolish nested scopes using
dynamic scope hacks, or worse. This is something we won't do, I'm pretty sure
Erik agrees.
Ah yeah, I'm well aware that dynamic super isn't happening.
