Thank you Tobias and thank you Marko.

However, what if I would want to call another method of its ancestor ?
Something along the lines of :
class Boo
    def say_what
        puts "boo what?"
    def
    def say_who
        puts "class Boo"
    end
end

class Foo < Boo
    def say_what
        # none of the following three work
        super.say_who        # xor
        super().say_who      # xor
        super.send :say_who  #



I do have an extra question (TIA) : why does it (Foo.new.say_what) still
prints "boo what?" in all three cases ?
Does it executes super (thus Boo#say_what) and then gets lots in which is
the current object ?

Thanks,
philip
