Yes, but technically speaking it doesn't (and i think here's the
root of yourproblems). Inspectng foo shows super on the class
precedence list but _not_ on the list of direct superclasses.
Your asumption seems to be that the lsit of direct superclasses
is only needed to compute the cpl but that might very well prove
wrong (sorry, haven't looked to close at OpenMCL mop).

Why? If you append it to the list of direct-supers? Anyway, the way 
clsql does it: look if super is already on the cpl of any of the 
direct supers and append it to the list iff not.
