New submission from Antony Lee:
Currently, distutils.Command is a "hand-written" ABC; i.e. direct instantiaion
or calling the "abstract" methods initialize_options, run and finalize_options
raises a RuntimeError saying that the method (not named in the error message,
which is thus a little bit cryptic) must be overriden.
In particular, this makes it impossible to use super() when overriding these
methods (while Command.{initialize_options,run,finalize_options} have empty
implementations, using super() is a fairly normal approach when inheriting, and
needed in the case of multiple inheritance).
Switching to an ABC-based design would solve this issue.
