For the record, I agree with Adam. Claw is full of overridings like this; 
our rule was that overridings should be done in the private part as there is 
no reason for the client to know whether the routines are overridden or just 
inherited. Looks like a bogus warning to me (and Adam's explanation makes 
sense to me, too).
