so that way I can have a general purpose way of calling a parent
constructor like "super()" or whatever. It seems silly to hardcode
the name of my parent class into the code of the class besides in the
"extends" part in the definition. that way if I change the
hierarchy, I don't have to worry about changing the constructor, it
just always points to the parent.
sorry if that isn't clear.
