Years ago, companies were demanding that all of their applications be
written in C++, because of speed and because of "features" like multiple
inheritance and friend declarations that "improved the efficiency of
your code."
Even Squeak introduces `traits' for aspect-oriented programming -- in
the spirit of multiple inheritance..and not unlike Ruby's mixins too.
Don't like features, don't use them...
