   --  Class.  GNAT doesn't know about the structure od the C++ dispatch
   --  table (Vtable) but always access it through the procedural interface
   --  defined below, thus the implementation of this package (the body) can
   --  be customized to another C++ compiler without any change in the

   --  respected. Note that Ada.Tags defines a very similar procedural
   --  interface to the regular Ada Dispatch Table.
