No, I don't know the original source. Multiple inheritance is an old and
widely known problem. I just meant that instead of bikeshedding here and
reinventing everything from scratch, everyone interested in the topic
should take a look at Scala's traits since traits basically are
interfaces extended with function bodies. Scala also has a solution to
the conflicting multiply inherited methods. I just mentioned Scala
because it's also a C inspired object oriented language and this feature
proposal is more or less 90% the same concept as traits, both
syntactically and semantically.
From what I can read, traits in Scala are much than adding function
definitions. You can add member variables and inherit from a base
class. It acts much like an interface + a mixin. It's quite nice really.
