This very sentence show that you miss the point of OOP and Liskov
substitution principle.
To make the argument cleared, let's consider a lib with a class
A. The whole lib uses A and must now know about subclasses of A.
Not even A itself.
As a consequence, A don't need to be tested for all kind of
future possible override.
If I, as a programmer, create a class B that extends A, it is my
responsibility to ensure that my class really behave as an A. As
a matter of fact, the lib don't know anything about B, and that
is the whole point of OOP.
