Nice approach, I totally didn't think of it.
I think it would be good to have a test case involving a virtual base
class, preferably one where the virtual base ends up in two different
places in different classes (and then test both cases).

Here I suspect it would be better to avoid the value_ind for some values
of "noside". Otherwise I think we could end up reading memory
needlessly (by trying to compute the correct enclosing type).
