[Oberon] [EXT] PO 2013 allows one to "override" predefined procedures and functions

[Skulski, Wojciech]

Andreas:

what a great feature. It could be really useful in the hands of a creative programmer. I am wondering, what would be the run time behavior of this feature. A crash? 

How did you find this feature? Would be good to get rid of it.

Has anyone noticed that the PO 2013 allows the programmer
to “overrride” predefined procedures and functions, e.g.,

  MODULE M;
    VAR
       INC: CHAR;
       i: INTEGER;
  BEGIN
    INC := "a”;
    INC(i)           (*not a procedure*)
  END M.

This should not be allowed..
