Why allow both `override` and `required`? I understand you mean it to indicate that you're overriding a requirement, but does that provide any additional safety? Both say "I intend to name something the same as something else."
In addition, the juxtaposition of both keywords can be misunderstood. Specifically: required suggests that something not otherwise there must be there. Override suggests that there's already something there. The act of overriding can never itself be "required." It's could be thought of as an oxymoron to have both, no?
