Anyone who attempts to change the vtable deserves any anomalies which
follow.  The vtable is a highly system-dependent object.  Its details
will differ from compiler to compiler, and even in succesive releases
of the same compiler.  There are no guarantees whatever of how many
copies of the vtable for a given class will exist.  Surely you can
accomplish what you want with good design and portable code.
