I hope I will be excused for dragging in the indecency, but it might be
worth looking at the concepts COBOL used to mitigate its verbosity, (e.g.
types defined in a structure that get inherit

I'm thinking aloud here, so please bear with me.
A number of languages have a "with ..." construct that's intended to

given $foo.bar.baz {
.dothis();
.do
