Two test cases and corresponding errors follows...
interface ITest:
def DoSomething() as string
def DoSomething[of T]() as T
class Test(ITest):
def DoSomething() as string:
pass
def DoSomething[of T]() as T:
pass
Program.boo(10,9) : Error BCE0035: 'Test.DoSomething' conflicts with inherited member 'ITest.DoSomething'.
Program.boo(7,9) : Error BCE0035: 'Test.DoSomething' conflicts with inherited member 'ITest.DoSomething`1'.
class Test2Base:
virtual def DoSomething() as string:
pass
virtual def DoSomething[of T]() as T:
pass
class Test2(Test2Base):
def DoSomething() as string:
pass
def DoSomething[of T]() as T:
pass
Program.boo(12,32) : Error BCE0072: Overridden method 'Test2Base.DoSomething' has a return type of 'string' not 'Test2.DoSomething`1.T'.

Major
Conflict between generic and non-generic methods overloads when return type is generic parameter
interface ITest: def DoSomething() as string def DoSomething[of T](x as T) as string class Test(ITest): def DoSomething() as string: pass def DoSomething[of T](x as T) as string: passWorks.
