so I shamelessly borrowed Andrew's inheritance page, and wrote up another alternative design here:

https://projects.cecs.pdx.edu:8443/~black/NewOOL/index.cgi/wiki/MinimalFactoryInheritance

this is related to my "factory method" emails, I guess, and trying to find a compromise. 

I don't know if this will can what Andrew wants his inheriting superclasses to do -
in fact, Andrew, can you send a short summary of the problem that needs fixing?
