Comment #1 on issue 222 by [email protected]: Not having the keyword
extends in .proto is very problematic to modelize inheritance between

There is an extends keyword - it just has a different meaning. Extensions
solve similar problems to inheritance. See
http://code.google.com/apis/protocolbuffers/docs/proto.html#extensions
This has come up frequently on the list before:

In most cases, composition and/or extensions can be used instead. If you'd
like to add more to the discussion, please start a thread on the mailing
list, rather than filing a bug.
