How to super?

Ages past, I wrote a subclass of my TclArray (itself a PMC with a
parent of Hash) to provide [trace] functionality for the array.
I overrode get_pmc_keyed, did some work to make the trace work, and
then ended with:
# Delegate to our parent..
$P0 = getattribute self, ['TclArray'], 'proxy'
.local pmc result
result = $P0[key]
.return (result)
However, this was disabled for some time, and when I tried to
re-enable it, I started getting:
No such attribute 'proxy' in class 'TclArray'
Which is not unexpected, as now TclArray is now written in PIR, not C
(as it was when this was originally written.)
So, how does one dispatch to one's parent's vtable? Looking for
super|parent under docs, src/ops and src/pmc doesn't show any likely
candidates.
