It’s a straightforward duality to constructor-super relationships.  

In a _constructor_, you can say super(…) and it will overload select against constructors in the superclass, and chain to that.  

In a _deconstructor_, you can use super(…) as a pattern, and it will overload select against deconstructors in the superclass, and match to that.
