Description

I need a PoD ofRectangle, (for speed) and currently there is a virtual destructor so there's a vtable. Is this neccessary?
I've not seen anything that extends it AND uses any virtuals... (and nothing is declared virtual)
Other of PoD types like ofColour, ofVecXX, even ofPixels don't have virtual destructors...
