overloading and virtual are the same, and they work OK with PascalObjects.
MI won't work due to different method dispatching schemes.
Pointers to members was broken but is fixed in later d-releases of 
MPW C++ (ETO CDs). There are a couple of things that won't work C++:wise,
and a couple of things that are broken. I'm just finishing a Tech Note which
will be released during the World Wide Developer Conference, and it's all
about PascalObject limitations and known bugs.
