Virtual method interceptors are not implemented, but they are planned just
like every other Delphi compatible part of the RTTI. They require a bit of
platform dependent support though as they'll need to deal with calling
conventions (even if it might only be one as AFAIK we only allow the
default calling convention for virtual methods...).
