This is precisely why I brought up the Boost Interfaces Library in my 
earlier post. We can have every class comptaible with IObject without having 
to inherit from other classes, and without virtual functions. This provides 
all of the advantages of a single rooted hierarchy without any of the 
disadvantages. I already have an object oriented primitive library which 
leverages this functionality. See http://www.ootl.org/objects.html
