Ah, okay.

Okay.  I think evaluate_subexp_standard understands this --
that it has to go from method to domain type, and from domain
type to some other base-class type that actually defines the
vtable.

That will be the next problem.  I just wanted to be sure that I was
actually fixing this problem.

Rats.  Okay.  I'll withdraw my patch, and work on that instead.

	* valops.c (find_overload_match): Assert that methods are not
