Emulate super in javascript

Question

Basically is there a good elegant mechanism to emulate super with syntax that is as simple as one of the following

• this.$super.prop()

Answer 1

For those who do not understand the recursion problem the OP presents, here is an example:

function A () {}
A.prototype.foo = function (n) {
    return n;
};

function B () {}
B.prototype = new A();
B.prototype.constructor = B;
B.prototype.$super = A.prototype;
B.prototype.foo = function (n) {
    if (n > 100) return -1;
    return this.$super.foo.call(this, n+1);
};

function C () {}
C.prototype = new B();
C.prototype.constructor = C;
C.prototype.$super = B.prototype;
C.prototype.foo = function (n) {
    return this.$super.foo.call(this, n+2);
};


alert(new C().foo(0)); // alerts -1, not 3

The reason: this in Javascript is dynamically bound.
