Is it possible to re-dispatch a method call within an inherited method?
For example:

package A defines a type widget that has methods widget_size and run_widget.
package B defines a type bigwidget that has an overriding method for
widget_size, but
inherits the run_widget method without modification.
Within package A, run_widget makes a call to widget_size.  Is it
possbile to force
a re-dispatch such that the appropriate widget_size method gets called based
on the object passed into run_widget?

Thanks for any help,
Tony
