Right - the current design works for classes, or "class like" objects. The catch is those singleton objects.
I had some idea flowing around in my head -  an assymetric "one-and-a-half" solution like Java,
distinguishing between classes that are "extended" - and traits or mixins that are "included" or something
- classes maintain identity but traits/mixins don't - but the complexity seems to overwhelm any benefits
