Allowing 'super' in any function, requiring Object.defineMethod to be used with 
an object and a name for that function to be callable and survive its first 
super reference, is plausible and as you note, there's a name to burn into the 
function if necessary.

But I still wonder if we wouldn't be better off restricting where super can 
occur. I can't prove it, but we are following in the universal-'this' footsteps 
(but with static or else Object.defineMethod binding). That sounds a warning 
bell in my head.
