There are also a bunch of non-virtual methods that could be made
virtual.  I don't remember exactly what, since my list was from years
ago, but if someone has been keeping track, now is a good time to do
those changes!

Here's a fragment from an old file I was able to find:

Fl_Input_::value should be virtual
Fl_Input_::position shadows Fl_Widget::position with a different meaning.

I'm sure there are many more non-virtual functions that could be made virtual!
