Description
The method signature plugin hooks run for normal method calls (obj.method(...)) but not for super().method(...), even though both resolve to a method and are then checked as calls.
Plugins that rewrite method signatures therefore cannot enforce the same behavior on super() call sites without a separate, hand-rolled checker.
