Questions on the super method:
Is the super method unique to MacRuby?
super forwards the current message to the superclass with the same method name
and arguments. Is there a way to send a message to the superclass method with
different arguments either from within the subclass method of the sa
No it's not unique to MacRuby (Ruby and Obj-C support that feature) and yes you
can pass other arguments :)

Thanks Matt:
I didn't see super in the ruby-doc.org/ruby-1.9/index.html unless super is
short for superclass.
Can I reach a superclass method without having the message go first to my
subclass override of the method?

In Ruby, super is not a real method call but a key word. Also, it does not
behave exactly like a method call (implicit arguments/block and what not)
Satish has a good blog post on the matter:

You can certainly call super in your subclass before making any modifications
or calling super based on a condition.
I hope it helps,

Hi Matthew,
Looks like a valuable addition to me :) Thanks for proposing to work on this.
It looks ambitious so if you need help you should probably post it on github so
that others can translate the original code too.
