[Rubycocoa-talk] Overriding #init from a mixin.

[Eloy D. <elo...@gm...>]

Hello list,
I'm wondering how I should override #init from a module.
If I use the following code, then it complains about super_init.
I now have to use #initialize which works. But my code can't be used  
from
the objc side of the bridge, so I'd rather use #init.

Cheers,
Eloy
