Description
This works in Scalac, but not in Dotty:
class A[T](val x:T)
class B[T](override val x:T) extends A[T](x)
Dotty complains:
Welcome to Scala.next (pre-alpha, git-hash: 06d3f7a) (Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM, Java 1.8.0_65).
Type in expressions to have them evaluated.
Type :help for more information.
scala> class A[T](val x:T)

5 |class B[T](override val x:T) extends A[T](x)
| ^
| overriding value x in class A of type T;

Removing the override val
keywords in B
makes it compile, but it's not always possible (e.g. for case classes).
