It will match calls in subclasses because any instance of an object of
your subclass is also an instance of the super class. Note that this
is different from execution pointcuts.

If I remember correctly, parameter types are matched exact.

I think this behaviour makes sense. AFAIK it was chosen because it
made most sense to most people.
