Thanks Anne, I agree that it would be great to have something like this. I think it's too early for us to judge something because we don't have a well defined Imperative API as of now. Let's re-open this issue after we can see how an Imperative API goes. I'll file a bug for the spec about this inheritance challenge so that we can continue the discussion in the bugzilla.
