So there is no such examples! (:-))
As I pointed out in a previous message, you want the language to allow you
to do this (redispatching), in order to allow the derived type to override
the entire algorithm, instead of just parts of it.
But you should always advertise which operations dispatch in an operation
(especially if the operation is primitive for the type). Calling a
dispatching operation from inside another method is not simply an
implementation detail. (Unlike the case in which the call is static, which
really is an implemenation detail.)
