C++, C#, VB.Net are three I know of. I think Java also allows it.
In these languages, AFAIK, it's allowed, the compiler generates a
warning, but the visibility does not actually change. You would still
be able to access the member, if not directly on a variable of the
descendant type then certainly by typecasting to the ancestor type.
