Admittedly, it's been a bit since my languages class, but I don't see how loose 
typing resolves the biggest problems with multiple inheritance:

1. What do you do if two parent classes have methods with the same name?
2. What do you do if two parent classes have class variables with the same name?

I'm willing to be persuaded by good answers to those questions, but I don't 
know if they exist. So for now, I'm against it, as a feature extremely likely 
to cause confusion and weirdness, and one that's probably not really needed or 
understood by most people who think they need it.
