Th=C3=A9re were many solutions presented, none really convincing. If you ha=
ve full control over the inheritance hierarchy, you can design it as you wa=
nt it to be.

On the other hand, if the hierarchy is given, there is no good solution IMH=
O.

However, I have problems to see how a derived type might have less operatio=
ns than the parent. But you can always override with a null procedure or ra=
ise an exception, as has been proposed.
