If you're writing a subclass, you can just have a method of the same name in
your subclass and it will override the superclass' method of that name. If
you want to call the superclass' method from your subclass' method, you call
this.base(arguments).
If you're trying to override the method using a mixin by calling
qx.Class.include(), it'll complain at you because you're likely to break
something by doing that. If you really, really, really know what you're
doing and want to override a method from a mixin, then call qx.Class.patch()
instead of qx.Class.include().
