What Barb said.  C cannot even overload f.  They are simply completely 
disjoint.

This would be different:

class D extends B {}

But then obviously the normal rules apply.  This is one thing I like 
about Java over C++:  the polymorphism rules are fairly simple and easy 
to remember.  C++ is a lot more baroque;  I find it quite difficult 
actually.
