Three reasons:

1. I don't want the implicit conversion to the base.
2. Sometimes the function needs to be more than a simple forward.  Then
   I don't want to "override" (i.e. hide) a non-virtual.
3. The base probably won't have a virtual destructor and so I want to 
   avoid deletions through a base pointer.
