+for every class, store two lists:
+
+1. list of methods this class defines.
+2. mapping of method name to which method body should be invoked first for
+   that method. this will be the base-most class's definition of a given
+   method name.
+
+typedef struct
+{
+  // The method body to invoke. This will be the base-most definition of a
+  // method for a given name.
+  Method* method;
+
+  // If [method] calls `inner`, this is the class whose inner method is invoked.
+  // If *that* method in turn calls `inner`, we look up the [inner] property of
+  // this method on that class's dispatch table to chain to the next one.
+  //
+  // This is `NULL` if there is no inner method to call.

+typedef struct

+
+with normal overridding, can unify those. with inner(), need both.
+
+whenever a method is invoked, look it up in 2, then call that method body.
