     In my Visual FoxPro classes, I ended up annotating each method
with "base" or "overrides" to indicate whether the method was or was
not defined in a parent.

     I have many classes that use parent class methods.  I also have
to override these from time to time.  The annotations help me keep it
all straight.

     I tend to be very strict on using such aids.  If you want to be
sloppy, you can do it, but do not think that you are doing yourself a
favour.

Sincerely,

Gene Wirchenko
