/// Within a class hierarchy for a given derived class, each virtual
/// member function in that hierarchy has one or more "final
/// overriders" (C++ [class.virtual]p2). A final overrider for a
/// virtual function "f" is the virtual function that will actually be
/// invoked when dispatching a call to "f" through the
/// vtable. Well-formed classes have a single final overrider for each
/// virtual function; in abstract classes, the final overrider for at
/// least one virtual function is a pure virtual function. Due to
/// multiple, virtual inheritance, it is possible for a class to have
/// more than one final overrider. Athough this is an error (per C++
/// [class.virtual]p2), it is not considered an error here: the final
/// overrider map can represent multiple final overriders for a
/// method, and it is up to the client to determine whether they are
/// problem. For example, the following class \c D has two final
/// overriders for the virtual function \c A::f(), one in \c C and one
/// in \c D:
///
/// \code
///   struct A { virtual void f(); };
///   struct B : virtual A { virtual void f(); };
///   struct C : virtual A { virtual void f(); };
///   struct D : B, C { };
/// \endcode
///
/// This data structure contains a mapping from every virtual
/// function *that does not override an existing virtual function* and
/// in every subobject where that virtual function occurs to the set
/// of virtual functions that override it. Thus, the same virtual
/// function \c A::f can actually occur in multiple subobjects of type
/// \c A due to multiple inheritance, and may be overridden by
/// different virtual functions in each, as in the following example:
///
/// \code
///   struct A { virtual void f(); };
///   struct B : A { virtual void f(); };
///   struct C : A { virtual void f(); };
///   struct D : B, C { };
/// \endcode
///
/// Unlike in the previous example, where the virtual functions \c
/// B::f and \c C::f both overrode \c A::f in the same subobject of
/// type \c A, in this example the two virtual functions both override
/// \c A::f but in *different* subobjects of type A. This is
/// represented by numbering the subobjects in which the overridden
/// and the overriding virtual member functions are located. Subobject
/// 0 represents the virtual base class subobject of that type, while
/// subobject numbers greater than 0 refer to non-virtual base class
/// subobjects of that type.
