The docstring for gen-class says the following regarding the :exposes-methods option:

"It is sometimes necessary to call the superclass' implementation of an
overridden method. Those methods may be exposed and referred in
the new method implementation by a local name."

To me, this suggests that supplying something like `{foo fooSuper}` allows me to use the symbol `fooSuper` in my new method implementation. Doing this actually results in an error while compiling because `fooSuper` cannot be resolved. It seems that what actually happens is that a `fooSuper` instance method is defined, which calls the superclass's implementation. The docstring should be updated to reflect this.
