Please see:
http://wadechandler.blogspot.com/2011/01/java-override-and-refactoring.html

as to why I'm requesting this as an aid in refactoring. Basically, when one has methods which no longer make sense in an interface or class and they must be removed, classes overriding them have these methods which no longer make sense. These methods can be renamed, logic pulled from them, or perhaps completely removed. It would be very handy to just ALT-ENTER then use the "Remove method" hint to be done with the method.
