Indeed. I'm aware of this reliability problem. That's in part why I 
also proposed to add one new level of indirection to the vtable 
instead, although I haven't mentioned it.

But how do you find the vtable for a given object? Surely you're not 
proposing dynamically adding new vtable fields to objects?
