Not sure what the best place to post this is, but how does one call super in this scenario? I actually cannot for the life of me figure out the syntax

context(scope: Scope)
override fun Something.doStuff(): String {
  return TODO("call super")
}

I've been unsuccessful in finding a way to do this so far that's source-legal, and wondering if this warrants filing a FR on youtrack if it's not currently possible since it seems like it'd be a gap not being able to do this

I think it was meant to be addressed once contexts are implemented, but it hasn't been yet sadly, don't quote me on that though.
There's a very old issue for it

Yep, unfortunately it's impossible.
Quite an annoying problem.
