Pushing down a method within a method invocation using super changes the name binding of the method invocating to an overloaded method. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create the classes:
public class A {
  public int k(long l) {
    return 10;
  }
}
public class B extends A {
  public int k(int i) {
    return 20;
  }
  public int m() {
    return super.k(2);
  }
}
public class C extends B {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        C c = new C();
        System.out.println(c.m());
    }
}
2. This program prints 10. Apply a push down method on m():
public class A {
  public int k(long l) {
    return 10;
  }
}
public class B extends A {
  public int k(int i) {
    return 20;
  }
}
public class C extends B {
  public int m() {
    return super.k(2);
  }
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    C c = new C();
    System.out.println(c.m());
  
}
3. The behavior of the program changes. Now, the program prints 20.
