I don't think we need to do any special binding to `this` for bare `super`.
Perhaps it will help if I provide the original use case that led me to
this. I'm using AngularJS and declaring controllers as classes. I have a
base FormCtrl that extends (for example) a ClientFormCtrl. The cut-down
version of the constructor is this:
constructor($injector) {
$injector.invoke(super, this, {
formName: 'activityUpsertForm'
});
}
In this case, I don't care what `super` is bound to, since under the covers
Angular is going to do super.apply(this).
I think the most obvious and least confusing/breaking way for `super` to
function is for it to be the equivalent of `let super = super.[method_name]`
