Yup.
It's gratifying to know someone's reading the checkin log. :)

Oh, lovely, virtual base classes. Urp. One of the few C++ features I
try very hard to ignore.

I'm gonna have to think about this one. If I add the virtual base ctor
call, it's likely to just confuse me again 6 months out. I'll yank it,
and we'll be back here again the next time I unleash the pedant on the
code. But, if I add a comment telling me why I can ignore the warning,
that's pretty ugly, too.
Mull, mull...
