The thing is though, even though it is 100% backwards compatible, it
is something we'll have to support. It adds complexity to the
implementation, and we'll have to answer questions about it on the
list. That would be fine if everyone would have been wildly
enthusiastic about it, but that is not the case - whether you think
that is justified or not.

So, like I propose in the main thread, the best way to go is to
implement this as a separate project, using separate tags. We'll be
happy to support any internal API changes if that is needed to make
the implementation work. The advantage of having this separate project
is that such inheritance would be available for people who like it,
and hey, maybe in the longer term you have something that works so
good that you can convince people based on something that works.
Executable code works much better than simply words when it comes to
that ;-)

Do people want to work on this?

Eelco
