The implementation of VTABLE_morph for the Object PMC doesn't call
Parrot_oo_find_vtable_override(), it calls SUPER() directly. I can put
together a patch for this to do what this ticket seems to want, but is
that the behavior that this should implement?

Question for the list: Do we want to be able to override the morph
vtable for Objects? Does it even make any sense to do it?
