+        initialization would prohibit deriving e.g. CanvasBase from

+
+        On top of that, disambiguates XEventListener::disposing and
+        WeakComponentImplHelper::disposing.
+
+        Having two virtual methods with the same name, and not
+        overriding them in every derived class, will hide one of
+        them. Later trying to override the same method, will generate
+        a new vtable slot, and lead to very hard to spot errors.
