AT&T has been aware of interest in virtual data members for some time now.
Other than it not being an "urgent" issue, one of the problems is the semantics
of non-static virtual data members - what do they mean?  It would be pretty
ugly to exclude them from the paradigm.  Personally I hope we live to see the
day when virtual/non-virtual, static/non-static, and data/function are all
completely orthogonal for members.  How 'bout it, ANSI committee?
