`super()` right now is a special syntactic feature, just like the new proposed `import()` and such. To have `super` behave like a variable and be consistent, `super.foo()` would also then be accessing a property on that variable, instead of calling a method from the parent constructor prototype. Then a whole new approach would be needed for parent class access.
