<p>If a callin method <code>rm</code> is bound to a base method <code>B1.m</code>
that in turn overrides an inherited method <code>B0.m</code>
(<code>B0</code> is a super class of <code>B1</code>),
the callin method may use a special form of a base call denoted as
</p>
<div class="listing plain"><pre><strong>base.super</strong>.rm();</pre></div>
<p>Such base super call invokes the super method of the bound base method,
here <code>B0.m</code>. This invocation is not affected by any further callin binding.
</p>
<p>A base super call bypasses both the original method <code>B1.m</code> and
also other callin bindings that would be triggered by a regular base call.
For this reason any application of this construct is flagged by a decapsulation warning
(see <a href="s3.4.html" title="&sect;3.4&nbsp;Overriding access restrictions"
class="sect">&sect;3.4</a>).
