So, how would one create a class which inherits from some other class
when you don't know what said other class is until runtime? Does this work:
class {
push @ISA, $class;
...
}
Admittedly it's not something you'd want to do often (though I have
done something like it several times in Perl 5...), but it's really
handy to be able to.
