    4040The ObjC runtime has two extra functions, `objc_msgSendSuper` and `objc_msgSendSuper_stret`, to message the super object. 
    41  * ['''FIXME:''' ''How do we want to handle them?''] 
    42  * ['''FIXME:''' ''There is no objc_msgSendSuper_fpret?''] 
     41 
     42An obvious approach to providing calls to `super` might be: 
     43 * `foreign import` the class' `super` 
     44 * Superclass instances would be accommodated as part of the type of a method that is `foreign export`ed. 
     45 
    4346These functions need to get an `objc_super` struct as the first parameter, which the compiler is supposed to compute from the enclosing class definition.
