Hi Alex. Xcode will also complain if you don’t call super. You must call super
and assign it to self…but then it seems that you are free to re-assign self -
which I kinda get - the parent class might be doing important stuff in
super…maybe there’s a more primitive init method I can override.
Ideally though, we don’t even do this. Ideally, there is a better way to handle
a custom suite for bindings with a NIB.
