@sgillies it's tagging the virtual methods in the underlying C++ code, i.e. those that are designed to be overridden and which will be overridden everywhere. Other methods can only be overridden when calling from Python, not C++. So eg overriding QgsMapLayer.name() in python code won't actually result in a different name shown for the layer in the qgis interface, as that's all C++ based...

@sgillies I was hoping this terminology would be familiar even to python developers, but I guess a tooltip or help link is needed 🤪
