It doesn't help. :-(  It seems to do the same thing as B.eval, which
still ends up in C.eval.

This seems to be a compiler (or language?) bug to me? One should be able
to specify a static binding to a specific base class method, without
always ending up in the overridden method.

Anyway, I figured out a workaround: rename .save to .saveImpl and make
it private, then make .save a wrapper to call .saveImpl, and have the
delegate directly invoke .saveImpl.

It's still a pain, though. :-/
