Arturo,

Thanks for the detailed explanation and example.

As I've already confessed to Doug, I incorrigibly mis-use the 
terms "override", "overload" and "hide" in these contexts.
On this occasion I had very carefully chosen my example
to ensure that there was no overriding, and no virtual
methods, but I still used the wrong term.  Apologies to 
anyone whose time I wasted, and thanks to everyone who 
helped put me straight.

Yes, indeed, it was a tool bug.
