I'm not sure if the comswiki inheritance is supposed to work like
Smalltalks, so maybe this is a bug, maybe it isn't.

To help with debugging my currenct project I added am action to echo the
printstring of the request ( <?echoRequest?> - original name, heh?) and
incorporated it in many templates, including the refs swiki 'default'.

When getting ready to give a demo I implemented echoRequest in my swiki,
a sub-book of refs. This version simply did nothing, in an attempt to
'over-ride' the action. In pages/templates/actions defined in my swiki,
all was well but any page that used the refs>default still had the
debugging output.

So, if swiki inheritance is supposed to be like Smalltalk's then this is
a bug. If it is not (which would be a pity) then I suppose it is not.
