 Huh?  In what context are you using the words over-ridden?
 How does that make the keyword Obsolete?
 Here's a very close paraphrase of the top of the help page that
 I'm referring to.  Can anyone please explain this in a little more
 detail than one sentence?
 -------------------------------------------
 this (C++ keyword)
 Use of "this" is now obsolete. A better,
 safer, and more general technique is to
 define a member function called
 x::operator new
 instead.
