In the Visual Web editor, if I delete the methods prerender, preprocess and destroy from the page class, the visual editor will re-add them, but WITHOUT calling super.prerender etc. This means that if I inherit from a class which has something in these methods, the class generated by the visual editor will prevent that code from being called. Ideally, such auto-generated methods should always call super.xxx().
There may be cases when the call to super() may not be desirable. Perhaps whether to generate the call or not should be user-configurable.
I can't imagine where that would be the case - and certainly not all of them. Most such functions are empty placeholders in the normal classes but in inherited classes, if they are coded the user would want them called.
