           Summary: Class method without a function body should be abstract?

The spec should state whether a method without a body is abstract or not. Of
course this also affects the behavior of compiler. For instance this fails when
linking:

  class A { A f(); }

  class B : A { B f() { return this; } }

  void main() { B a = new B(); }

In some occasions similar code works, in others it doesn't.
