calling overriden method from child class from class folder

[Carnë Draug]

I came across this question [1] on stack overflow today.  I found the
question a bit confusing (the OP is mixing classdef documentation and
class folders), but it basically boils down to "How to call a method
from the parent class when the method has been overloaded"?

I looked at our documentation and even on Mathworks documentation and I
couldn't find a way to do it.  In the end I suggested to keep the object
of the parent class around in order to call its methods directly [2].

But am I missing something and is there an undocumented way to do it?
It looks an ugly workaround.
