The commented assignment should work but doesn't.

The compiler is griping (I think) because it thinks you're trying to 
assign to a static member of Foo.  You can do this:

class Bar: Foo
{
   this()
   {
     super.bar = 2;
   }
}

I don't think so. This is a recently added feature. It lets you access one
of the base's [instance] members since super can't work past one level.
