I would like to mix in assertion debugging behavior into AWT framework
classes, or in general into any classes that are fixed in a single
inheritance hierarchy. It becomes a little bit tedious to always copy and
paste the same method into each class I need it inside... In C/C++ I could
at least use macros for this. Anyway, that's one reasonable case. Then
again I'm no big fan of multiple inheritance, it makes design look like
spagetti in the worst case.
