Is there anyway to have a class-descriptor inherit the mappings of a previously 
defined class-descriptor?

Example:

AB is an interface.  A implements AB and B extends A.

<class-descriptor class="AB" >
   <extent-class class-ref="A" />     
   <extent-class class-ref="B" />
</class-descriptor>


<class-descriptor class="A" table="AB">
  <field-descriptor name="id"column="ID" jdbc-type="INTEGER"        
   primarykey="true"
   autoincrement="true"
  />
  <field-descriptor name="name" column="NAME" jdbc-type="VARCHAR"/>
</class-descriptor>

The question:  How can define the class-descriptor for B without having to copy the 
identical mappings from A?

I tried using the "extends" attribute of class-descriptor on hunch that's what it was 
for, however, no dice.

There has got to be a simple way to accomplish this, however, I have yet to find it.

Using 1.0rc3.
