What if we included the subclass "in the box"?
Both the old and the new are designed to work smoothly with subclasses.

I'm in favor of keeping Zend_Registry as light as possible.
Everything "can be added". But we want our classes to be simple to use
as they are, not "some assembly required", do we? So why not make
extra step towards the user and give people tools for working
conveniently with their classes and not have everybody to rewrite
these additions by themselves each time? That's would be the scenario
90% of the users would be doing anyway, so why not make it easy?
