I'm keeping that in mind.  But we need to be more precise in our 
terminology.  Yes, multiple inheritance has its problems, but 
what I'm proposing is NOT multiple inheritance.  It is simply 
struct composition as it should be.

We keep espousing "prefer composition over inheritance" but then 
the programming languages we design offer us precious little to 
actually do the right thing.  I think D can be the first language 
to finally do composition right with this feature.
