    Description

      Currently, it's not possible to do an equivalent of "super.foo()" from the body of a Java class adapter. E.g. in this example where we want a filter writer that capitalizes its output:

      var cap = new java.io.FilterWriter(w) {
          write: function(s, off, len) {
              cap.super$write(capitalize(s), off, len)
          }
      }

      function capitalize(s) { ... } // capitalizes a string

      The basic idea is to add methods prefixed with "super$" for every non-abstract overridable method from the adapter's superclass.
