 The rationale behind this decision is that ''self'' and ''super'' are inherently related to the object hierarchy of which a method is a part.

It is therefore wise to stay clear from using this feature. For an overview of the problem introduced by external field or method declarations, see Gilad Bracha's blog post on [[http://gbracha.blogspot.com/2008/03/monkey-patching.html|monkey patching]].
