Introcution

The ECMA standard introduces a new solution to the CAT call problem. Covariant redefinition of a formal argument is only possible to a detatchable type: 

class A
feature
   f (a: ANY) do end
end
 
class B1
inherit A redefine f end
feature
   f (a: STRING) do end   -- not valid
end
 
class B2
inherit A redefine f end
feature
   f (a: ?STRING) do end   -- valid
end

This wiki discusses some of concerns related to this solution.
