In an object system you don't have to hard-code super class calls!

They are two *different* ways.

Why reject iterative solutions for fibo and ackermann?
They are two ways of dealing with the same problem.

(Those tests exclude languages which don't provide recursion.)

All the test pages have a section for "Alternates" 
The Clean objinst and methcall programs are "Alternates"
