It's bad form to use "super" with a method name that isn't your own.  In fact,
I think it's an error that Smalltalk allows you to do it.  It breaks
subclassing, because there's *no way* a subclass could ever override that
"initialize" method now.

Change "super" to "self" in this method, and I'd be happy.  If the current
class has no initialize, it's the same execution flow.
