To be pedantic... "super" refers to an object (same object as "self")
but message lookup is done in the context of your superclass or to
think of it another way... when the metal hits the road [self blah]
results in objc_msgSend(self, "blah") while [super blah] results in
objc_msgSendSuper(self, "blah").
