This reminds me of traits. It's a beautiful set of ideas, that tackles the core of the problem, which is a delegation pattern in Python. The problem of creating such a framework is that it surprises the programmer, because it changes the semantics of objects in a fairly implicit way. In my experience, it is a bad idea: in the long run, the costs, in terms of lost or confused contributors, exceed the benefits.
