sorry I just wanted to add, in the case of You.Free where there is an naming
conflicting in super classes (Free in TObject of 3 classes) the rule is:
1) *always* use the base classes implementation regardless of order.
2) if you want an implementation other than the base class you must explicitly
call on that field.
That should be easy to follow I think. Even if that’s not complete or correct
we can assign very strict rules which force the programmer into explicit calls
when naming conflicts exist.
