It means that Object.opCmp has the signature "int(Object)" whereas your 
class's opCmp has the signature "int(<something other than Object>)".  In 
other words, you're hiding the base class implementation of opCmp.

Try either putting 'override' on your implementation of opCmp, or doing 
"alias super.opCmp opCmp" inside the class declaration.  I'ven't got the D2 
compiler on me to test :S
