I agree -- but only so long as the language gives you an easy way to delegate messages by default to another instance. From where I sit, it seems interface inheritance plus a parsimonious way to say "implements Foo; delegate all the Foo stuff to this.myFoo" would be really helpful if this approach is to be taken seriously.
