class Document
{
    const
    override hash_t toHash()
    {
        return super.toHash;
    }
}

Error: function object.Object.toHash () is not callable using argument types ()

If you change it into 'return super.toHash();' then it prints
Error: function object.Object.toHash () is not callable using argument types ()
const

OT: I really wish that horrible error message would be turned into something
more easily understandable like 'function can't be called on a const instance'
or whatever.

Actually I think it shouldn't even get to that point.
Shouldn't it complain about toHash not overriding a base method?

The above error message isn't helpful at all, especially if the const isn't
applied to the function directly but through a 'const: /*many functions*/'.

Now it's:

Error: not a property super.toHash

After adding parens:

Error: function object.Object.toHash () is not callable using argument types ()
const

After Issue 1730 is fixed the error message will improve.
