This is on my todo stack; thanks for looking into it.
The way to handle this is:
* yes, use inheritance -- that is what I simulated with the C abstractions
* declare the "pointer to function fields" as virtual functions --
that is what I meant
with the (necessarily poor) emulation through the casts.
* override those that needed to be overridden in cxx_pretty_printer.
* adjust the macros.
* Have the associated constructors do the right thing.
