Calls to generic inherited methods don't work, at least in default methods

[catamorphism]

I'm about to upload an xfailed test case for this as part of my pull request for #3979.

[nikomatsakis]

Not critical for 0.6; removing milestone

[catamorphism]

Nominating for milestone 5, production-ready

I don't really understand what this bug is.

Edit: nevermind, I found the test case, which is issue-3979-generics.rs.

[pnkfelix]

Blocks #2794 (referencing here so that it shows up, with a status, on the #2794 page).

Once I get the test case for this fixed up, the test passes. There are still problems, though. The following test won't pass:

(Although it will soon.)
