The problem isn't going to be in your own code, it will be in using everyone elses.

If you're forced to use someone else's code and are not allowed to change it in any way, then you're always going to have problems with badly written APIs.

Even Manu mentioned that he's got problems with C++ libraries because of this, and C++ has non-virtual by default.

Indeed, I was just trying to illustrate that it is a real problem.

Surely you can see how a language where accessors and properties are virtual by default will magnify the issue immensely right?

Even the most trivial interactions with a class can't be used inside loops anymore.
