Also, the IDE complains if you don't write "@Override" in front of every 
method that overrides an inherited one. I don't know why. (And I'm not 
actually sure how that's valid Java syntax, come to mention it...)

This /does/ have the nice side-effect that if you rename the method in 
the superclass or something, the IDE starts yelling "hey, this says 
@Override, but it doesn't!"
