To me, this allows structs to have something like inheritance.
You add a property for another struct that acts like an
interface and alias that struct to the current one. Thoughts?
Multiple inheritance of implementation for structs + implicit
casting in one basket
I wish that's what we used it for. More often than not, it's used
to simulate implicit casting, sometimes with catastrophic results
in generic code...
