No particular reason, other than space constraints. The book doesn't
document every single feature of Jess; the publisher was uneasy with
the length of part II as it is, and would have liked it to be
shorter. I vaguely recall a section from the book that *did* talk
about deftemplate inheritance being one of the things I edited out at
some point.
