That's right. And furthermore

  class E < C
    def x
      super
    end
  end

  E.new.x  #=> No super method error  

At least I would think localized methods would not particpate in the
inheritance chain --which could also mean that localized methods
whould be in there own namepsace form other methods --like Java's
private.
