To provide extra methods to implement "act_as" function,
I wonder if it's possible to inherit "Entity" class rather than declare
"act_as" in metadata?
For example:
class Book (List): # declare in class, multiple inheritance possible
class turboentity:
tablename = "book"
rather than:
class Book (Entity):
class turboentity:
tablename = "book"
act_as = "List" # declare "act_as" in metadata
