I'm not familiar with the Eiffel beyond "it's the DBC language and it's French", but wouldn't this simply be covered by aliasing? Which I guess raises the question, is a method's signature and attributes part of the method itself, or it's name? In other words, do aliases to the same method carry the same signature and attributes? > Oh yes, and we need to make sure DBC stuff is part of the interface, not > the implementation.
