I quickly skimmed through your updated proposal. Two things stood out: 1) The C++ standard does not know anything about vtables. This is just one of several ways to implement polymorphism. 2) If you think branching is slow, how do you think the compiler will compile your proposal? If your proposed feature can do the exact same thing as if or switch it will be compiled to branches in machine code. And if your branches can be optimized away, in theory they can be optimized away today. Just because you don’t write explicit branches in your code doesn’t mean the CPU will not have to execute branches. Basically this means I don’t see how your proposal will change anything under the hood. It would just introduce different syntax.

I haven't understood the problem yet. You need to start the proposal with the
problems (plural) that need solving, preferably with multiple possible
alternatives and showing why you think your solution is best.
