Why is 'MyBase.MyBase' not allowed?

In Visual Basic .NET, C#, and Java access is resticted to the direct base
class.  The main reason for this is that allowing access to a class'
grandbase could lead to inconsistencies in an object's state.  The sample
below illustrates such a case:

\\\
Public Class A
    Private m_Sum As Integer

    Public Overridable Sub Add(ByVal Number As Integer)
        m_Sum += Number
    End Sub
End Class

Public Class B
    Inherits A

    Private m_Checksum As Integer

    Public Overrides Sub Add(ByVal Number As Integer)
        MyBase.Add(Number)
        m_Checksum = ...
    End Sub
End Class

Public Class C
    Inherits B

    ' Objects of type 'C' are objects of type 'B' too.  'B' guarantees
    ' that the checksum will be set properly.  If there was a way to call
    ' 'A''s 'Add' method directly, the checksum set in 'B' would not be
    ' updated and thus the class' state would be inconsistent.
End Class
///

'MyBase.MyBase' could be used to bypass code that is "required" by the
class hierarchy, for example, if the derived class calls a function defined
in its grandbase class directly, bypassing a base function, where the base
function is needed for the entire hierarchy to function correctly.
