To step back a bit, what is the *benefit* of not requiring a class
to be declared abstract if it does not override an abstract member?
It introduces implicit behavior and the potential for an additional
test case (in *what* sane world should I even HAVE to test that
something is instantiable?) for the sake of not typing 8 characters
in a Class definition
A second possible use case:
class C(T): T{
// some declarations
}
Now you really want that template to be instantiable with T being either
an abstract or a concrete class. Anything else is bound to become
extremely annoying.
