But that's really more for the whole "fragile base class" problem than it is 
a "stop and think" kind of thing.  In other words, it really only kicks in 
when you modify the base class after you've already compiled derivative classes.

(It's that sort of forward-looking feature that convinces me C# is very well 
thought out in many ways.)
