A small correction: typeof(super) == ancestorof(typeof(this)).

Also, in a previous article, I had written that in Smalltalk,
confusingly, procedure == message and calling == sending, where I had
omitted 'call' as in 'procedure call == message'. Thanks to someone that
wrote me noting this. Incidentally, I find the Smalltalk 'method' for
'procedure' not confusing; but surely the idea of 'sending' a 'message'
to an object is even more bizarre when the alternative of 'invoking a
method' is available.
