   --  This package corresponds to Ada.Tags but applied to tagged types
   --  which are 'imported' from C++ and correspond to exactly to a C++
   --  Class.  GNAT doesn't know about the structure od the C++ dispatch
   --  table (Vtable) but always access it through the procedural interface
   --  defined below, thus the implementation of this package (the body) can
   --  be customized to another C++ compiler without any change in the
   --  compiler code itself as long as this procedural interface is
   --  respected. Note that Ada.Tags defines a very similar procedural

   --  interface to the regular Ada Dispatch Table.
