What is the price ( i.e. coding time, execution time, execution space) the owner of that variable has to pay in the case that she/he want expectable behaviour only and owns the variable `b' but not the source of its type `Base' and has to provide some access to variable `b'?

It seems to be euphemistic, to name "information steeling from" or "information changing of" a variable by the conceptual term "inheritance". -manfred
