BTW, people have put multiple inheritance into Smalltalk a number of
times -- it's pretty easy (and very easy in Squeak). I just don't
think any such mechanisms are worth it without a good "algebra" that
helps define and control what the nonlinear collisions are supposed
to mean. Also the multiple perspective ideas handle most cases better
with less hierarchy etc.
Cheers,
Alan
