I don't see how that could ever be made to work. At the time that the child classes' closing bracket is parsed, the class is composed, which mean its method table (including methods from superclasses) is calculated. This means at the very least that if you inherit from a stubbed class, you won't be able to call methods from the parent class. So the best thing we can do is throw a better error message, at class inheritance time. Cheers, Moritz
