Unfortunately this last statement is untrue.  Structs/classes with no
virtual functions don't have vtbls - where do their outlined inlines go?
Here we have yet more evidence that structs should have been left alone as
they are in C and classes should have been gotten all the goodies, including
default virtual functions.
