class Bar: Foo {
private:
    override void func() {}
}

This doesn't compile and print "cannot override a non-virtual function". It
took me a while to realize that the problem (in a larger class) was not in the
base class, but in the attributes of the override.

What about error messages like:
"cannot reduce visibility of override" or
"overrides must not be private"
