Classification:Other Bug Reproducible:Always
 
If a subclass overrides default method implementation of a protocol that the base class conforms to, it will not be used unless base class overrides it too.

Steps to Reproduce:

protocol P {
  func foo()
}

extension P {
  func foo() {
    print("p foo")
  }
}

class A: P {
//  func foo() {
//    print("a foo")
//  }
}

class B: A {
  /* override */ func foo() {
    print("b foo")
  }
}

let o: P = B()
o.foo() // prints: p foo


Expected Results:
"b foo" should be printed

Actual Results:
Prints "p foo". If I remove comments (have base method implement it too), it works correctly.

Version:
Xcode 7.
