   class Object
   {
   public:
      virtual Object* some_method (const Object&);
   };
   
   
   class Collection_Member : public Object
   {};
   
   
   class Collection : public Object
   {
   public:
				    // this is what I WANT to do
      Collection_Member*  some_method (const Collection_Member&);
You can do this now (but this will be a *different* virtual function
then the one above.
   
   //
   // in desparation, I also tried:
   //
				    // g++ 1.34.1 accepts this form
No longer.
   //   Collection_Member*  some_method (const Object&);

Again, a *different* virtual function.
   //   Object*             some_method (const Collection_Member&);
   
				    // cfront only accepts this form
As does GNU C++.
   //   Object*             some_method (const Object&);
   };
