I think I still rather like explicit, but I'm on the fence about
which approach is best.  What do other people think?

From your description, I would use a subclassing (and forget about
proxy and copying).

That would be a nightmare, on multiple levels:

- All of the separate implementations would become tightly coupled, which is what happens with inheritance.

- Either someone would have to create classes for the various permutations of features, or consumers would have to mix and match multiple classes to get what they want and sort out the variate internal implementation incompatibilities.
