By all means *discourage* the use of super calls but don't *ban* them
unless you want to restrict the use of Component Pascal to the BlackBox
framework and hinder more widespread adoption of the language.
Super calls are currently required if you are using Component Pascal
with Microsoft's .NET framework. Not only does this framework allow
Component Pascal to exploit features of future versions of Windows, it
also currently allows Component Pascal to be used to develop Linux
applications via the Mono project.
Also, banning super calls may limit the usefulness of Component Pascal
as a language with any other future OO-based framework whose
implementation you have no control over.
