Calling super in base classes (ie anything that inherits from 'object') just seems unnecessary and obscure to me. It's not a pattern I use or have seen, and after playing around a bit I can't see any sensible case where it'd make a difference. `View` should always be the last (right-most) class in hierarchy, so there shouldn't ever be any parent behaviour that needs calling into.
