I'm writing some bindings and have run in to a dilemma due to the
lack of explicit information on how the D compiler "decides" to
use virtual dispatch for a member function or not.
Specifically, I have a C++ library that _explicitly_ marks some
member functions as virtual, in addition to a plethora of
non-virtual functions.
I would like to be certain that the D compiler understands that I
would like it to treat those functions as virtual functions, but
unlike C++ where there is a `virtual` classifier for functions, D
does not appear to have such a facility.
The C++ interop documentation suggests that both non- and virtual
functions are supported, but further suggests that it only treats
inherited functions as virtual with no method of explicitly
requesting virtual dispatch for that method.
As far as I can tell, all specified member functions in a class
with C++ linkage are assumed to be non-virtual unless they are
overriden?
