I never really thought about this, but now that I see it here, it made me
realize that how 'does' works seems verbose. I think we should be able to
specify a list instead of a bunch of 'does' statements. For example, the
above example should be written as
class Buf does Positional, Stringy { ... }
The repetitive 'does' statements is about as annoying as how you have to
specify public/private inheritance scoping for each class in C++. Even Java
gets this right:

Just an idea.
