Beyond my initial reaction which was basically: very cool and my brain will
hurt for a while, it would be interesting to see an example of a practical
application of this. Perhaps one of the two examples Andrew cited would be
small enough to be readily understandable. It might even make a good article
in the generator.
Seeing why one would choose this as a method (sorry about the pun) versus
coding another way, how it stops, and other questions would be very
enlightening.

[Andrew asks for proof that circular inheritance matters.]
I believe circular inheritance has yet to prove its practical value,
there are probably only 1-2 programs that have ever used it beyond
the examples.
While circular inheritance is not common in real Unicon programs, the
closure-based inheritance that enables it is cool. Other languages
with multiple inheritance do not do as well as Unicon at handling the
semantics when a given method might be inherited from any of several
ancestors.
