I wonder if the concise method body proposal should not be extended to add 
parameters types/return type inference in case of overriding methods.

In LVTI, we drew a bright line between inference in implementations and inference in declarations, for a good reason.  Clever observers commented that "but you could safely use `var` to infer the return type of a private method, without inviting API instability", but we declined on the basis that the incremental complexity of the rules (having a coupling between accessibility and inference) was not justified by the incremental expressiveness.  The current rules restrict inference to local variables, which is nice and clean and orthogonal.  I would make the same argument for not introducing a similar coupling here.
