Well, in the particular case of C++ virtual dispatch I would expect the frontend
to emit slightly different code for architectures with function
descriptors (otherwise
bit 0 could not be re-used as a flag reliably). Thus we're back to
square one here
and probably should think about a more high-level representation of virtual
dispatching ...
