I rather like the Object > Module > Class hierarchy
but I'd like to unify subclassing and including.  They just
don't seem (in practice) to be very different from one-another.
In particular, method resolution (implicit and via super)
doesn't seem to be any different with respect to an
included module or a declared superclass.  Other than
method resolution, what language features depend on the
ancestors list?
