Calling the function doesn't issue any sort of error. Overriding one 
overload without overloading or explicitly aliasing in the rest issues a 
compile-time error.

If you got a runtime error instead, please create a bug report.

If the functions from the parent class are hidden but your code compiles, 
please create a bug report.
