Description

Looking at #292 I realized I had forgotten about the ExhaustiveOverride option. I think we should remove it. It could give a performance gain in some cases, but it could also have a cost in safety since Java doesn't require @Override annotations by default. Overall I don't think it's worth keeping. @lazaroclapp thoughts?
