Okay, I've worked out how all this works.

__traits (getVirtualFunctions) gets all non-static methods.

__traits (isVirtualFunction) returns true iff the argument is a non-static
method.

__traits (isFinalFunction) returns true iff __traits (isVirtualFunction)
returns true and the function is not marked final.

This is consistent, and 'fixing' the issues by changing features would result
in a loss of functionality.

This is not consistent with the expected meaning of "virtual function". I
request that the documentation for __traits be updated to include a definition
for "virtual function".

I also request that the keywords be changed to "getInstanceMethods" and
"isInstanceMethod" or something like that, for clarity.
