Depends on how one reads the Emba Developer's comment.

""" In such case, a call to an inherited method may occur if it exists or not if
it doesn't. Such a reference is limited to methods with the same name and
parameter list *in the parent class* """ (emph. mine)

I would read that so that it only looks in *the* parent class, not "any ancestor
class". If it finds nothing, it indeed generates no code and no error.

As observed, if it finds a matching name with wrong parameter list, an error is
raised.


Fun Fact: if a matching name and parameter list exists and is virtual abstract,
no code will be generated either. This is probably to protect from calls to
virtual methods?
