Re: virtual inheritance

Seriously, it can be a problem, because this issue seems to be
frequently ignored. (Logically, one wishes that virtual
inheritance had been the default.)
I've got a couple of these in my current system. Some of my colleagues
get really upset about it - but hey, *I* didn't write the spec we are
trying to model.

However, I disagree that virtual inheritance should have been the
default. It has a significant overhead.
