Here I've gotten caught -- I haven't yet gotten around to downloading the
binaries and playing with them! But I thought there was a way, in a
concrete class, to chose which of the defaults to use? This requires
overriding the collided method, which is of course not possible if one or
both interfaces have declared it as final -- so a collision that can be
handled for most default collisions, wouldn't be now.
