/**
* LLHeteroMap addresses an odd requirement. Usually when you want to put
* objects of different classes into a runtime collection of any kind, you
* derive them all from a common base class and store pointers to that common
* base class.
*
* LLInitParam::BaseBlock uses disturbing raw-pointer arithmetic to find data
* members in its subclasses. It seems that no BaseBlock subclass can be
* stored in a polymorphic class of any kind: the presence of a vtbl pointer
* in the layout silently throws off the reinterpret_cast arithmetic. Bad
* Things result. (Many thanks to Nicky D for this analysis!)
*
* LLHeteroMap collects objects WITHOUT a common base class, retrieves them by
* object type and destroys them when the LLHeteroMap is destroyed.
