Likewise. As far as I've seen, submethods are a kludge wedged in for
cases where you're actually calling all the way up the inheritence
tree. Personally, I've always thought a "cascade method" syntax would
be better for that:
post method BUILD($foo, $bar) { ... }
pre method DESTROY() { ... }
Cascade methods would be called (before|after) the indicated method in
a superclass was called. Their return values would probably be thrown
away. I think they might actually be a sort of syntactic sugar for
inserting `call` in the method body, but that's an implementation
detail, really...
