I'm not all that keen on a new keyword for this. How about using an interface to indicate strictness? Isn't this really what interfaces are all about?
I don't like new keywords either, but I don't see any alternative. I also think that interfaces are what should be used. But it seems that we are wrong, interfaces do not solve this issue, I'm still unsure about the reasons though...
Well, currently they don't because they don't care about method signatures, but they could be made to care. Are there reasons beyond that? -Rasmus
