And subclass Sub with method write():




What should happen (a) at compile time, and (b) at runtime when invoking 
Sub.func?

Good question :-)  I'd say it should print "base" but a subclass of Sub 
gets another chance to override write() since it can't see Sub.write(). 
  It would make more sense if it were an error to have a private 
override method.
