This is actually part of the point. You keep on discussing as if we design the language now, when in fact there's a lot of code out there that relies on the current behavior. We won't win many friends if we break every single method that has ever been overridden in D, over a trivial matter.
Agreed. But can you please consider the export proposal ? This would allow for finalization using LTO. That we can avoid virtual dispatch when it is unneeded.
