While we're on the topic, is multiple inheritance on radar for ES7? The grammar of the ES6 draft spec I used for reference back when I first implemented ES6 classes seemed to indicate support for multiple inheritance. I don't know if I misread it, or if at one point that was a planned feature.
It's not terribly important to me since I seem to average one use case of multiple inheritance every fifty thousand lines of code or so, and I can usually fudge it. I'm just curious if multiple inheritance is on the radar or not. Thanks.
