That wouldn't help much since previous release of libobjc don't define it.  
You'd still have to make a difference between new libojcs (where you can
use the macro) and old ones (where you can't use the macro).

At that point, it's entirely equivalent but simpler to use .class for old
libobjcs and .super_class for new ones.
