I would set aside the syntax and first describe the mechanism. Are you
going to generate a super-calling version of every method? Are you
going to try to emit code to generate invokespecial in the
implementing fn? The latter won't work as there is no type
relationship.
It might be easier to just enhance the :exposes to handle methods as
well, or add a :supers section.
