Is there any prohabition to virtual inline functions. I didn't see one
in E&S but they don't seem to work in cfront 2.0 . It appears as if
they are entered into the virtual table but then compiled out of the
code that goes to the c compiler. Thus you get function declared and
used but never defined errors. I guess what I am really asking is this
a bug in cfont or something inherant in c++. I admit there would have
to be some special cases inserted into the compiler to make it work
properly but I think in certain cases it is necessary.
