/**
    @file
    @brief Definition of all super-function related macros.

    This file defines all macros needed to add a new "super-function".
    If you add a super-function, you can call SUPER(myclass, functionname) inside your
    code and the function of the parentclass gets called. This is comparable with
    super.functionname() in Java or other languages.

    This works only with virtual functions that return nothing (void) and belong to
    classes that have an Identifier. Arguments however are supported.

    To add a new super-function, you have process 4 steps:

    1) Add a new SUPER macro
       This allows you to call the super-function in your code.
       Location: This file (Super.h), marked with --> HERE <-- comments (1/3)

    2) Call the SUPER_FUNCTION_GLOBAL_DECLARATION_PART1/2 macros.
       This defines some global classes and templates, needed to create and call the super-functions.
       Location: This file (Super.h), marked with --> HERE <-- comments (2/3)

    3) Call the SUPER_INTRUSIVE_DECLARATION macro.
       This will be included into the declaration of ClassIdentifier<T>.
       Location: This file (Super.h), marked with --> HERE <-- comments (3/3)

    4) Call the SUPER_FUNCTION macro.
       This defines a partially specialized template that will decide if a class is "super" to another class.
       If the check returns true, a SuperFunctionCaller gets created, which will be used by the SUPER macro.
       You have to add this into the header-file of the baseclass of the super-function (the class that first
       implements the function), below the class declaration. You can't call it directly in this file, because
       otherwise you had to include the headerfile right here, which would cause some ugly backdependencies,
       include loops and slower compilation.
       Dont forget to include Super.h in the header-file.
       Location: The header-file of the baseclass (Baseclass.h), below the class declaration
