Creating this matcher
```c++
AST_MATCHER(CXXRecordDecl, isAbstract) { return Node.isAbstract(); }
```
will provide a way to transitively know if a record is abstract, i.e. if any pure virtual function was not overridden, which is a guaranteed way to find out if it should be considered polymorphic. The matcher can simply be added inside an `anyOf` together with the `hasMethod` in both pointer expr matchers (`anyOf(isAbstract(), hasMethod(...))`). (I realize I didn't even mention `isAbstract` in the above comment in the inheritance part, which was the whole reason for that section)

Also, please move the `unless(isFinal())` matcher before the `hasMethod` matcher for slightly better performance.
