Sorry, I misread.  Yeah, I agree, in this case we don't need the code
for the bridge methods; the vtable entries can point at the real
method.  Or maybe we don't even need the extra vtable entries, I
haven't thought about that.  In any case we only need the bridge
methods if an argument type changes due to erasure.
