I have to agree. Classes provide structure and behaviour for a single
kind of thing (how quickly we run out of words when 'class' and 'type'
are already taken). A package is a bunch of stuff that may touch many

about multiple inheritance is looking for a visit from one of the four
horsement of the apologists. :-)
