+/* C++11 adds the ability to add "override" after an implementation of a
+ virtual function in a subclass, to:
+ (A) document that this is an override of a virtual function
+ (B) allow the compiler to issue a warning if it isn't (e.g. a mismatch
+ of the type signature).
+
+ Similarly, it allows us to add a "final" to indicate that no subclass
+ may subsequently override the vfunc.
+
+ Provide OVERRIDE and FINAL as macros, allowing us to get these benefits
+ when compiling with C++11 support, but without requiring C++11.
+
+ For gcc, use "-std=c++11" to enable C++11 support; gcc 6 onwards enables
+ this by default (actually GNU++14). */
