// Testing the virtual cast, as part of strict inheritance.

/* IMPORTANT: This test does not repersent the final feature set.
 * We are missing a number of important aspects such as:
 * + vtable type generation.
 * + vtable instance generation, that might use different resolution rules.
 * + Virtual syntax to force said generation on structures and traits.
 * + Trait references/pointers that do the virtual_table lookup.
