Defining them to 'virtual' or even empty would do, if they are not
present in the compiler. cf. glib's provision of a stock 'inline'.

        That should help reduce code thrash, and hideous ugliness ;-) keeping
us closer to more readable, standard C++.

One nitpick: While it would keep the code surely more readable, it would make it less standard. For one, override and final are technically not keywords in C++11, so a correct program that used them as identifiers would be broken if we defined them to be empty (for a compiler not yet supporting them). For another, if override and final /were/ keywords, defining them in any way would result in undefined behaviour.
