Well, when I wrote the current version I think I decided against it
since I did not want any "inherited bugs" so to speak. If a clean and
useful inheritance is possible, then sure. The other reason it might be
unwise is that it does both input and output - but of course that does
not mean a useful inheritance is possible anyway.
