You'll see somewhere in the docs that GCC emits out-of-line copies of
every inline member-function of a class in the translation unit in
which the first non-inline non-abstract virtual member-function is
defined, if there is one.  This is a valid optimization because every
non-abstract virtual member-function must be defined.
