vtables (was Re: Ramblings on "base class" for SV etc.)

[Uri Guttman]

can someone write up a short description (or rfc is you prefer) on
vtables. i gather that they are a per value (for some definition of
value) dispatch table which handles the ways a value can be
accessed. everyone is using that term and i haven't seen a concrete
definition here.

thanx,

uri
