the sentence is definitely confusing if not just plain wrong.
Yeah. I've seen this called hiding, shadowing and overwriting
earlier, but never overriding - that's always been reserved for
the polymorphic kind.
I'd argue the documentation should use one of those other terms.
And yes compiler probably could findout that method could be
made
non-virtual but I am not sure how easy is this and how it would
slow down
compilation times
Steve showed a few posts up one example that would make it
basically impossible. Other language features make it even worse:
class A { private void fun() {} }
class B(string s) : A { mixin(s); }
