Renaming of virtual functions

[Carlos Licea]

Dear list,
	I've just found a problem, consider the following classes:

	class A
	{
		virtual someFunction();
	}

	class B : public A
	{
		virtual someFunction();
	}

Now I tried to rename B::someFunction() because the way it was being done was 
more accurate for an internal function... but the change propagated to the 
base class, so in the end I had something like this:

	class A
	{
		virtual someFunctionPrivate();
	}

	class B : public A
	{
		virtual someFunctionPrivate();
	}

When I expected

	class A
	{
		virtual someFunction();
	}

	class B : public A
	{
		virtual someFunctionPrivate();
	}

So that I could later reimplement someFunction properly...

I think that the current behavior is kind of unexpected, at least for me; I 
don't think that changing the derived class should change the base class... at 
least not by default. 
I think that asking the user if he wants to propagate the changes from a 
derived/base class to a derived/base class when renaming a virtual function is 
the proper thing to do. What do you think?
