Some of these features you mention are very worthwhile but I mean that

To be well read on the subject of OOP models I can recommend this link
to a well-articulated paper by Bertrand Meyer:
http://se.ethz.ch/~meyer/publications/computer/taxonomy.pdf
The article was written in 1996.
It's just a taxonomy. Describing various inheritance schemes is not enough to
argue for their adoption. One must show that it neatly solves significant
problems that other schemes do not or can not.
Meyer's ideas have consistently failed to gain any traction. I don't know why.
