You can call super, so you need the virtual dispatch.
I understand Ali's argument about setting local vtable before
calling external functions in C++, but other than that it
should be sufficient to set vtable in the new() or equivalent
topmost call?
It is part of the .init, so the compiler would set it BEFORE
calling the constructor. constructor can then call each other and
rely on the fact that the vtable is initialized.
However, constructor need to do the virtual dispatch as one can
call super.
