Description Jon Barrilleaux CLA 2008-10-03 19:08:17 EDT 
When using generics in interfaces I often have to override interface methods to achieve covariant return of the "this" interface type.  It would be great if the Source->Override/Implement Methods function would facilitate this by recognizing such interface methods and allowing for their override with the subclass return type in place of that of the super class.
