 * function expecting an Animal, and Dog adds a breed of its own.
 *
 * Two things follow from that ordering. The ooc_object header inside Animal
 * stays at offset zero, where the library looks for it, and the upcast is a
 * no-op cast because both addresses are the same -- which is what lets speak()
 * in dog.c cast its Animal * back to a Dog * without arithmetic. The cost is
 * that a Dog may not add a member of its own before the base.
 *
 * The struct holds no destructor of its own; the one Dog registers lives in
 * Dog_class and releases both the breed and Animal's name.
