I think the Super command should accomplish this, it works in Ruby, and 
it lets you do this kind of thing.

What my system does is when you say SaveToStream to a Cardboard Box it 
would save its class name and signature version, then do the same for 
the class above it until it hits the top, then they start saving their 
data. The output would look something like this:

CardboardBox 1 Box 1 StorageUnit 1 <StorageUnit data> <Box data> 
<CardboardBox data>

(or in hierarchial form)
CardboardBox 1
  - Box 1
  | - StorageUnit 1
  | | - StorageUnit Data
  | - Box Data
  - CardboardBox Data

This lets you make sure that the serialization stream is supported 
before trying to read it in.

It can be used with either function or variable syntax, depending on 
where its used.  Essentially, the function syntax 'super()' is only 
available within constructors, to specify where to perform the base 
class constructor and/or pass values to the base class constructor.  The 
variable syntax 'super' is available anywhere within a class to refer to 
the base class as an identifier qualifier.
