I thought we need to remove the previous one first.

|class Foo < Foo       # <-- This is a type error in 1.8
|   def foo; super; end # AROUND
|end
|
|class Foo
|   def foo; super; end # REDEFINE
|end
|
|At least that is a conservative extension.

Or maybe providing two supers, one for the current behavior, the other
for the new.  I don't whatever name is suitable for new super yet,
however.
