It would not be possible to implement *with current linkers*

I can think of some horrid hack's involving using relocations for vtbl offsets 
and generating object files by parsing link errors (or with a hacked linker) 
that would let it be done.

OTOH it would break with .so/.dll usage and would generate some really funky 
build processes.
