If we could find an agreeable syntax and implementation for that then we'd be potentially inclined to include that as a new feature as there had been experiments for that in the past.

I never heard of "mixin" before but I'll study the wiki. 

I assume that the compiler team has decided multiple inheritance is a bad idea correct? Personally I don't have enough experience to know but I see there is a need to delegate work between classes and share a common namespace. I'm happy with any way to achieve that.
