Not really, but it does open up interesting possibilities, if we just
allow composite types to participate in inheritance relationships.
Think abstract base class.  That's pretty much the idea.  Come to think
of it, that's how the SQL standard defined inheritance.  Sounds
interesting.  And might actually be simpler to implement.
