In have a couple of case that always require me to find some 
other instance of it, and then copy/paste, But then I need to 
edit the pasted code anyway because in any particular case it 
needs to deal with different command info, so how can mixins help 
me? I have already dealt with the yada-yada cases by 
old-fashioned OOP.

 From the various answers to this question I have concluded that I 
should not worry about it. If there's a need for a template I 
think I am already recognizing it.
