Indeed but sometime back, we had similar discussion here and someone
(David I guess) proposed:

class Parent
 def knox
   puts 'parent'
 end
end

class Child < Parent
 def knox
   puts 'child'
 end
 def test
   self.class.superclass.instance_method( :knox ).bind( self ).call
 end
end

Child.new.test
