Presumably not, the vtable layout is constrained by the C++ compatibility and
this extends to local tagged types since Ada 2005.  In any case, see below.

The truth is, the versions of GNAT released by AdaCore use a general scheme to
eliminate (almost) all trampolines, at least on native platforms, so there is
no incentive for small tricks like this.  We could submit the scheme if there
is some interest from the community.
