Problems with Data Types, Medium Severity (2)

	Change	Effect
1	Superclass has been changed from OptionHandler to OneArgumentOptionHandler.	1) Recompilation of a client program may be terminated with the message: cannot find variable (or method) in DoubleOptionHandler. 2) A static field from a super-interface of a client class may hide a field (with the same name) inherited from new super-class. Recompilation of a client class may be terminated with the message: reference to variable is ambiguous.
