Every once in a while, it comes up on this NG that a significant limitation of templates is that they can't add virtual functions to classes. Of course, removing this limitation for the general case is impossible w/o completely changing the compilation model in ways that are bad ideas for other reasons. However, would it be reasonable to allow _specific instantiations_ of templates to add virtual functions? This might be a nice convenience feature.
This is insufficient to be at all useful to me.
