This is what I think would be a nice way to go forward if there is a
demand for OOP support in tcc. Not that I plan to pursue this myself.

In case anyone undertakes such an effort I would suggest to make the
extra features a compile-time choice, either built-in or otherwise as
a separate driver/pass, then without adding even a single byte to the
C-only tcc binary.
