   Regarding the last sentence, I suggest you be consistent and give up OOP
   altogether. Or do you really think there is a middle ground? If you do,
   good luck defending it or even articulating it?

You understood me right -- I do not believe in OOP, and I won't defend
it.  However, there is a middle ground, which is called `subtyping'.

   BTW, how would you feel about dynamic multiple inheritance?

I feel nothing about it, because I don't know what it is supposed to
be.  And I don't even want to know.
