Research direction

Reproduce the example in VS Code using TypeScript 3.9.0-dev.20200409 and run Find All References on the overridden SubFoo.bar method. Trace the reference-finding path for inherited and overridden methods; done means the result includes new SubFoo().bar() without incorrectly including Foo.bar().
