Make client functions overridable

description

Besides being useful for extensibility, many mocking frameworks require that functions be overridable.
 
An example from Moq:
 
User fakeUser = new User();
Mock<StackOverflowClient> mockClient = new Mock<StackOverflowClient>();
mockClient.Expect<User>(c => c.GetUser(userId)).Returns(fakeUser);

Thank you for your patch. Can you please submit it as a svn patch file so I can more easily distinguish what is changed from what is not. No need to submit items you have not changed. Thanks!

Thanks, I'll review the patch tonight. Just curious - besides mocking what are other scenarios you plan on overriding these methods?
