Which are not determined by type in the paper, so the code emitted
must attempt both if the type may be TVA-enabled; this seems a bit
prohibitive.

I also wanted to say about this is that it probably /always/ makes
better sense to embed a vtable pointer into the reference for values
that require RTTI or virtual dispatch, rather than require an
additional indirection or a branch.

Can't be stored in the source, that is, the pointer.
