           Summary: More realistic docs regarding virtual functions

This is a part of the virtual function docs:
http://dlang.org/function.html#virtual-functions

"All non-static non-private non-template member functions are virtual. This may
sound inefficient, but since the D compiler knows all of the class hierarchy
when generating code, all functions that are not overridden can be optimized to
be non-virtual."


Marco Leise suggests a text that is more similar to this one:

"If you deal with non exported classes and don't use incremental compilation as
well as refrain from compiling your code into static libraries, a D compiler
can optimize methods to be non-virtual. As of the time of writing [...] no such
compiler exists."
