Function templates cannot be virtual functions. One reason is the 
compiler cannot know how large the virtual function table should be, and 
the other one is it's just a template, not the real thing (i.e. not a 
function).

SomeAdapter.createSome is a function unrelated to FooAdapter.createSome. 
Their only relationship is through "name hiding."

Yes because FooAdapter has no virtual function. :p
