 Tempting as it might be, I won't reply "yes".  :-)

 Not just "yes", that is...

 In sort, this:

    class Base
    {
        public:
            virtual Base* foo();
    };

    class Derived : public Base
    {
        public:
            Derived* foo();
    };

 the foo() method returns a different type depending on the type of the
 object.

 See GCC problem report 3706.  It's not implemented in 3.2.
