🚀 go-pugleaf

Ok, the example was a bit to simple or I did not explain the intended use
well enough:

In fact I want to return a reference to an instance of class A, only. Class
B was only intended to prepare class A for a specific usage, and it is not
intended to be used any further. I therefore wanted to 'remove' the B part
of the instance. But probably - even when it would be a valid construct - it
would not work as it still will behave polymorphic (tested with JBuilder).

Thanks for all the answers.

The question is now, should the compiler issue some warning or not. I am
wondering what kind of bytecode JBuilder generates. How can I see that?

Regards Ralph
