Do you have enough tuits to dust-off the "plugin architecture" thread?
Subclassing is not a great way to do mixins by multiple authors,
especially if the interface is like 'use base qw(foo bar baz)'.
And then there's the thing where some features are optional and the
dependencies aren't necessary for the install (e.g. developer targets.)
