In general, you would use something like the following to call a
parent's implementation:

out = self->IDL_Variable::overloadPlus(left, right)

You can use the . notation you used in ::init as well:

out = self.IDL_Variable::overloadPlus(left, right)

But, in your case, you are calling some methods that don't exist. As
far as I can tell, there are no IDL_Variable::init,
IDL_Variable::set_value, and IDL_Variable::_overloadPlus methods.
