Build Identifier: tip

The function sc_super() is not available when overriding an already existing methoed in SC. At the moment you have to write

   arguments.callee.base.apply(this, arguments);

To get the same effect as sc_super(). To do this, the js-files send to the client could be scanned and sc_super() replaced with arguments.callee.base.apply(this, arguments);

Reproducible: Always

Abbot performs this transformation, but it isn't used for our plugins. Joe has added an sc_super() method to solve this issue for the root SC.Object. (SproutCore itself can't use this solution because it doesn't work in IE6, but we can't support IE6.)
