1505	:anon vtable overrides don't work in PIR	moritz	whiteknight	"{{{
.namespace [ 'Foo' ]

.sub '__onload' :anon :init
    $P0 = newclass ""Foo""
.end

.sub '' :vtable('get_string') :method :anon
    .return(""works"")
.end


.sub main :main
    $P0 = new 'Foo'
    $S0 = $P0
    print $S0
    print ""\n""
.end
}}}

This prints

{{{
get_string() not implemented in class 'Foo'
current instr.: 'parrot;Foo;main' pc 16 (foo.pir:15)
}}}

but just prints ""works"" if you remove the :anon.

I know of no good reason why a method that overrides a vtable method has to have a name.
