Is Override Still Mandatory?

I was under the impression that the attribute "override" was
mandatory when replacing a virtual function in a base class.
However, code that leaves this out has no errors using dmd v2.060.
import std.stdio;
class A {
this() {
show();
}
void show() {
writeln("A");
}
}
class B : A {
this() {
super();
}
// No override and no compiler errors?
void show() {
writeln("B");
}
}
void main() {
auto b = new B();
// This prints "B".
}
Also, is there a way to make class A call it's own version of
show()?
