Comment(by whiteknight):
I like that idea, Patrick. However, if I make that change the build fails
horribly.
{{{

Parent isn't a Class.

So at the very least we are going to need a deprecation cycle and some
non-trivial fixes to several areas of our standard runtime library. A
quick review shows that TGE, PGE, and P6object are all going to need
modifications in order to follow this rule. If this is okay for you, I can
create a branch to start the work, and add in a deprecation notice.
