I'm cool with super() in methods, I forgot we disallowed naked
`super`, and my gut says we would support it as equivalent to `this`.
To clarify, you don't mean `super === this`, right?
The alternative is for bare `super` to denote the same-named superclass
method bound to `this`. That enables the equivalence Allen wrote based
on Brett's error citation:
let superSubmit2 = super; // Error: "Unexpected token ;"
superSubmit2(); // if no Error, this is equivalent to super()
But that breaks the other equivalence:
super.method(); ==== do { let s = super; s.method(); }
So you can see why bare `super` is currently illegal! (Want a better
error message than the one Brett showed.)
If we make bare `super` an error for now, in hopes of resolving this
conflict of equivalences later, which way do we think we'll resolve? We
ought to have an opinion now.
