Another question that never got answered. Yet I would expect, that
either it is implemented with intend, then someone must know.
Or it is a bug then that should be checked?
If no one knows, shall I assume it is a bug, and report it?

Just found that the below works.
Note, that the result type of "a" (overridden) is different.
Well, TFoo2 will always satisfy the needs of TFoo, so it seems save. I
still found it surprising. Is it intended?
program Project1;
type
TFoo= class
public
function a: TFoo; virtual;
end;
TFoo2= class(TFoo)
public
function a: TFoo2; override;
end;
function TFoo2.a: TFoo2;
begin
end;
function TFoo.a: TFoo;
begin
end;
begin
end.
