Transform super properties of an object into calls to Object.getPrototypeOf to allow proper inheritance. This Babel plugin ensures that super correctly resolves inherited methods and properties within JavaScript classes. It's essential for maintaining compatibility across different JavaScript environments and transpiling modern syntax for older runtimes, facilitating seamless inheritance patterns.
