No the sugnature is incompatible. An instance of Foo cannot be called
with Bar or Connector's connect() Signature. Hence Bar is not a Foo
or Connector.

Same as above. Foo::connect() can be called with any value
Bar::connect() not.

Should work, since the calling convention from Connector is still
possible in Foo and Bar. Hence Foo::connect() IS-A Connector::connect()
and Bar::connect() IS-A Connector::connect().

Should work. Connector's calling convention is till valid in Bar.
Hence Foo::connect() IS-A Connector::connect() and Bar::connect()
IS-A Connector::connect().

Same as #5 only more complicated.

Right shouldn't work.

Wrong. Should work. Foo::connect() IS-A Connector::connect() and
Bar::connect() IS-A Connector::connect(). It is no problem that a
derived clsses method accepts a greater value range or set of types.

Should work. Still Foo::connect() IS-A Connector::connect()
and Bar::connect() IS-A Connector::connect().

Right, shouldn't work. Inheritance doesn't apply since the signatures
are incompatible.
