 * Detect classes that should have overridden members of their parent
 * classes but didn't.
 *
 * Example:
 *
 * struct S {
 *   virtual NS_MUST_OVERRIDE void f();
 *   virtual void g();
 * };
 *
 * struct A : S { virtual void f(); }; // ok
 * struct B : S { virtual NS_MUST_OVERRIDE void f(); }; // also ok
 *
 * struct C : S { virtual void g(); }; // ERROR: must override f()
 * struct D : S { virtual void f(int); }; // ERROR: different overload
 * struct E : A { }; // ok: A's definition of f() is good for subclasses
 * struct F : B { }; // ERROR: B's definition of f() is still must-override
 *
 * We don't care if you define the method or not.
