P.S. I'm unsure whether Java has any restrictions here...
Java does not have any such restrictions (except virtual is not a keyword as
everything is virtual in Java).
However, as Java, Delphi, Visual Basic and just about every language there
is have as convention of specifying scope before modifiers and I would hate
to see 'virtual public' being used. For me, it simply looks wrong.
Programmers looking for modifiers will scan the second word first, why
confuse them. =)
