I see how it might be done!  While in C0's constructor the "pre-object" is
momentarily pointing at C0's vft.  When it finishes with the last
constructor (C1) it will ultimately point to its class's vft.  

How does anyone (except a C++ compiler implementor) ever clearly understand
how C++ should behave?
