Hi, I did some code spelunking to find the -fall-virtual problem.

I could certainly live without the switch. It just happened that
almost all my methods in all my classes in a certain project are
virtual so it looked convenient for me. However it looks like the 
code has not worked for a long time. As such there are probably not
many people using it. 

I'd say remove it. It was just fun to find out why it was not 
working.

(By the way, where do I look to add inheritance to signatures? Yet,
another non-standard. :-) )
