I've played with mixin inheritance :

# template Mix ( T )
# {
#     class Mix : T 
#     {
#         void method ( something )
#         {
#             super.method ( super.stuff, something );
#             ...
#         }
#     }
# }

Then one can add behaviours and attributes to an existing class:
# auto mixedIn = new Mix !( MyPoorLittleClass ) ;
and the mixin code have access to the enclosing context through the super
pointer.

It may help waiting the outer keyword.
