When a class is implementing an interface, we lookup up a matching method (with exact signature) in the class methods and inherited virtual methods. This doesn't handle the situation where the interface was matching a virtual method declared in one of the parents, which was then overriden with a covariant return method. If that is the case, the covariant return method is considered as the implementation of the interface method.
