I exactly said this would require program analysis as a whole, at the co= st = of separate compilation, and thus also at the cost of dropping any kind = of = library, either shared or static. If any type is potentially the root of= a = class, then you have to avoid dynamic dispatching every where possible, = = and to do so, you need global analysis. If you don't, you get the direct= = performance issues, typical of interpreted languages. But I may be wrong if I am not replying to what you had in mind (not sur= e = anymore I understand the topic). -- = =E2=80=9CSyntactic sugar causes cancer of the semi-colons.=E2=80=9D [Ep= igrams on = Programming =E2=80=94 Alan J. =E2=80=94 P.
