Yeah. You have to alias A's overloads inside of B or explicitly declare them
as overrides and call the A versions from inside them. So, something like

alias A.test test;

or

alias test = A.test;

inside of B should work (though I haven't done it recently, so the syntax
might be slightly off), or you can just do

override void test(int i) { super.test(i); }
