struct BWrap : B
{
    int lock() override final {lock_mutex();}
    virtual int lock_mutex();
};

struct CWrap : C
{
  int lock() override final {lock_device();}
  virtual int lock_device();
};

class A : public BWrap, public CWrap
{...};

The need to do this, considering that you can work around it as the
author of A, doesn't seem to be common
enough to justify a built-in language facility for it. If the
boilerplate bothers you, wait until reflection+injection
lands.
