the archives say it all.  a class cannot be subclassed with compile-time 
method lookups happening.  i wouldn't declare the idea as dead, it could 
be implemented as a pragma for code that knows it will not be subclassed.  
but given that limitation, time would be much better spent optimizing 
elsewhere.
