The "override" keyword can be applied to template methods but they don't
actually override. Consider the following example:

---
module tmpoverr;

class A
{
    int f(T)(T t) {return 47;}
}

class B : A
{
    override int f(T)(T t) {return 11;}
}

void main ( )
{
    A b = new B;
    assert(b.f(0) == 47); // passes: A.f() called, not B.f()
    assert(b.f(0) == 11); // fails for the same reason
}
---

It should be a compile error error to use the "override" keyword with a
template method.
