super_method

If a class has the same method defined somewhere in the inheritance chain, we can use super_method to access it.

module Foo
  def foo 
    'foo'
  end
end

class Bar
  include Foo

  def foo 
    'bar' 
  end
end

Bar.new.method(:foo).call
# => "bar"

Bar.new.method(:foo).super_method.call
# => "foo"
