|I believe he meant that it would be a mixin named Inheritable, so:

Perhaps I read him wrong.  But it doesn't still make sense.  Modules
are still not inheritable.  You don't inherit from modules.  So
"Inheritable" is a plain wrong name for it.

Factoring out methods shared by classes and modules into a module
doesn't make sense either, since those methods highly depends on
internal structure of classes/modules.

I might have agreed if he proposed Module not to be a superclass of
Class, just like we did for Method and UnboundMethod.
