(Note, by the way, that you cannot safely write an upcall in a mixin class without super, so it can't safely be done away with, anyway.)

It seems to me you can't safely write one in a mixin class with super either. I know that's what it's supposed to be for, but I can't see it working properly except under very special circumstances -- so special that they have never turned up in any code I've written so far.
