Interesting idea, I approve. Overridding functions via code completion
is quite easy.

We could also add a dialog to implement/override multiple functions,
like Eclipse has:

But that dialog would be separate, which you could invoke after
creating the class or at any other moment, not built into the “create
class” dialog.
