So why is that like multiple inheritance ? Answer: it
isn't like multiple inheritance at all !

That was a long post!

After reading it, I've got two questions for you:

- if "MI of interfaces" isn't like MI at all, like you're saying,
do you conside single inheritance of interface inheritance at all?


- do you think it is mandatory to rely on concrete inheritance
to achieve OOP ?
