Note I was just giving a use case for the general construct, not 
necessarily a use case for the pseudofeature the original poster was 
requesting.  In my particular case, there isn't much need to make sure 
things are properly overridden in subclasses, since functionality tends 
to get added, rather than modified.  (The "Why would you want to do 
that?" question was asked before he went on to show what wasn't working 
for him.)
