What if it is overridden without any annotation--is that considered a hiding
override or an error?

I take your point about inheriting resources, though in this case I would
argue it is antipatternistic; if Account is not a generalization of Clients
(Clients are not Accounts), then we're just extending Account to grab its
functionality (like a mixin), which is ugly =( when really we should be
injecting it as a dependency.
But no objection to the method in general =)
