Hi Aur,

I believe the result of method lookups are cached, so you mightn't get
burnt too bad.

Alternatively, if we're only trying to affect method lookup, you could
keep storing methods in the class, but store a list of method bodies
for each name rather than just one, and only change super to look
beyond the front of the list if necessary.

Maybe Trans had a grander vision using full Module objects, though.

Regards,
George.
