======================================================
It is an error when any of the following pairs in a contract have the same name due to inheritance:
- a function and a modifier
- a function and an event
- an event and a modifier
The only situations where, due to inheritance, a contract may contain multiple definitions sharing

- Overloading of functions.
- Overriding of virtual functions.
- Overriding of external virtual functions by state variable getters.
- Overriding of virtual modifiers.
- Overloading of events.
