Hmm, I just starred at method 'source with it' in a SpurVMMaker image and
got
- 252 hits for 'self basicNew';
- 109 hits for 'super new'.

So it might depend on context... This would deserve more statistics (age of
method, initials, whether new is raising an Error or not, whether instance
side initialize does nothing or the wrong thing, etc...)
