The term 'superclass' is more common in the OOP vernacular than 'parent 
class', so super() is spot on, IMO. You'll find the same used in Java 
and probably some other languages.

Using 'parent()' would almost certainly cause some consternation among 
some D users, since the terms 'parent' and 'child' are often used to 
describe relationships in data structures. It's not uncommon to see 
methods like parent() (or getParent()) to fetch a parent node in a tree.
