	if i select a method in a superinterface of my class i want to "implement" it, not "override" it.

	however, since interfaces "extend" other interfaces, not "implement them", 
	in interfaces you "override" methods from superinterfaces. (would have to check that one in the lang spec)

NOTES:
EG (24.07.2001 23:28:38)
	we have gone back and forth on the name, should do one more iteration.

	The name is 'Create in ...' now, and for works for interfaces / classes, for super or sub types.

EG(13.08.2001 12:16:32)
	"Create in" isn't intuitive to me. Why can't the string be more sensitive?

Comment 2 Erich Gamma CLA 2001-12-10 06:21:07 EST 
discussed with martin:
1) when selection in a base interface -> menu item Implement Method in
2) when selection in a base class -> menu item Override Method in 
3) when selection in a derived clas -> menu item Define Method in
Comment 3 Martin Aeschlimann CLA 2001-12-14 08:26:52 EST 
to differ between 'override' and 'define', a type hierarchy is needed.
as this might be expensive to build on menu activation always 'override' is 
used.

Verified: Always override is used.
