 I gave a second thought to this: are you thinking about something like
 {{{
                                The_ABC
                               /      \
   TopologicalManifoldStrictSubset  TopologicalManifold
                               \      /
                  TopologicalManifoldStrictOpenSubset
 }}}
 with the methods superset(), intersection() and union() being implemented
 in each of the classes `TopologicalManifoldStrictSubset` and
 `TopologicalManifold` ?
