          Issue ID: 19546
           Summary: cannot implicitly override base class method [...] add
                    override attribute
           Product: D
           Version: D2
          Hardware: x86_64

According to https://dlang.org/spec/interface.html
compile:

```ifa.d
interface D
{
    int foo();
}

class A : D
{
    int foo() { return 1; }
}

class B : A
{
    int foo() { return 2; }
}

void main ()
{
   import std.stdio;
   B b = new B();
   writeln (b.foo());  // returns 2
   D d = cast(D) b;    // ok since B inherits A's D implementation
   writeln (d.foo());  // returns 2;
}
```

$ dmd ifa
