The purpose of a virtual function is to be *overriden*, not overloaded.

The warning here was telling that the "overloading" function was hiding the
"overloaded" method and this last one was virtual, so potentially it could
be overriden. I guess the compiler warns us in order to make sure we are
really calling the method we want in the end.
