/*
 ToDo list for expanding this check in the future, the list is not exhaustive.
 There are also cases where calling super is suggested but not "mandatory".
 In addition to be able to check the classes and methods below, architectural
 improvements like being able to allow for the super-call to be done in a called
 method would be good too.

UIDocument subclasses
- finishedHandlingError:recovered: (is multi-arg)
- finishedHandlingError:recovered: (is multi-arg)

UIViewController subclasses
- loadView (should *never* call super)
- transitionFromViewController:toViewController:
         duration:options:animations:completion: (is multi-arg)

UICollectionViewController subclasses
- loadView (take care because UIViewController subclasses should NOT call super
            in loadView, but UICollectionViewController subclasses should)

NSObject subclasses
- doesNotRecognizeSelector (it only has to call super if it doesn't throw)

UIPopoverBackgroundView subclasses (some of those are class methods)
- arrowDirection (should *never* call super)
- arrowOffset (should *never* call super)
- arrowBase (should *never* call super)
- arrowHeight (should *never* call super)
- contentViewInsets (should *never* call super)

UITextSelectionRect subclasses (some of those are properties)
- rect (should *never* call super)
- range (should *never* call super)
- writingDirection (should *never* call super)
- isVertical (should *never* call super)
- containsStart (should *never* call super)
- containsEnd (should *never* call super)
