If certain vtable methods can share the same implementation, it would be nice to be able to re-use a single implementation through some mechanism other than copy and paste. It seems to me the question of whether a specific PIR sub is usable as a vtable method is a separate question of how else I might be able to use that PIR sub in the rest of the code. -- c
