I think the strategy for reworking the gimple stmts needs quite a bit of 
experimenting to determine what would have to be done and what it would 
look like, and to get buy in from more people that the end result is 
indeed acceptable.  There are complex situation, and I dont see how we 
can avoid virtual functions in some cases (at least not easily without 
resorting to ugly as_a/is_a/dyn_cast functions). So I thinkit needs 
research.
