Hey man, Sorry if I annoyed you. No need to feel insulted. I get
it: the *real* reason is that it will break alot of code. I'm just
asking, it's not a big deal. I find that it helps readability.
But as others have stated, you list the the extended class first
and that's good enough!
The Internet is not always conducive to the emotional interpretation of
words. Sorry if I sounded annoyed/insulted. I simply was identifying
that you asked for a change that would break almost all code, and your
reason was because you "liked it." I'm not annoyed, but I wanted you to
understand what you were asking for and what appears to be your reason.
We would need more -- a lot more.
That being said, even if there was a really good reason (maybe there is, I
don't know), the bar for changing something so common in the syntax has to
be set very very high. It may be something we can't change even if it's
for a good reason.
