Erik, There are a number of different possibilities which I'm still evaluating. But if there is some significant reason for *not* subclassing Hits (performance?), that will have a major bearing on whether the approach I'm evaluating makes sense.
So, let me rephrase my question: Is the "final" nature of Hits due to some performance reason, or simply because no one has previously expressed any interest in subclassing it? Or, putting it in reverse, is there any technical problem likely to arise from removing the "final" attribute(s)?
