+Every virtual type (tree node) has a pointer to a virtual table with a unique
+@Id@ and a list of virtual members (see \autoref{s:VirtualSystem} for
+details). Children inherit their parent's list of virtual members but may add
+and/or replace members.  For example,
 \begin{cfa}
 vtable W0 | { int ?<?( int, int ); int ?+?( int, int ); }
-vtable W1 | { int w, int ?==?( int, int ); int ?-?( int, int ); }
+vtable W1 | { int ?+?( int, int ); int w, int ?-?( int, int ); }
 \end{cfa}
 creates a virtual table for @W0@ initialized with the matching @<@ and @+@
-operations visible at this declaration.  Similarly, @W1@ is initialized with
-@<@ and @+@ from the inheritance with @W0@, plus the @==@ and @-@ operations
-visible at this declaration. It is important to note that these are virtual
-members, not virtual methods of object-orientated programming, and can be of
