Not from me.  After all, the top-level superproject is not a
submodule from the point of view of the tree, is it?  If it were
"git submodule-and-superproject foreach", then perhaps, but at that
point, wouldn't it be simpler to explain what you are doing as

    do-this . ;# do it here
    git submodule foreach do-this ;# do it there all over

instead?
