This isn't particularly innovative: John Resig's Simple JavaScript Inheritance[0]—arguably one of the most widely used (many clones, forks and spin-offs exist) "abstract class" techniques—provides `this._super()` which does the same thing that ES6 super() does. This pattern existed before and has been repeated throughout many libraries that have stood out over the years: Prototype, Dojo, Ext.js and certainly others. CoffeeScript implements super() this way as well. Rick [0] http://ejohn.org/blog/simple-javascript-inheritance/
