If you are not careful, a similar thing may occurs with Ada also :
derive from a tagged type, "redefine" a miss-spelled ancestor method,
and you've created a new method on your back.

But Ada provides a nice way to avoid it : systematically make use of
"overriding" / "not overriding". The dark side is that this is
optional and not required by the language rules.
