Thanks for the reply. The information is adequate. It's quite 
disappointing though since because of that we tend to use class-module 
pair format just to make class ready for multiple-inheritance by mixins 
through its module; or else we always had to rewrite an existing class 
or transfer its contents to a module or the inheriting class itself 
every time we make use of the features.

I believe MI is not that evil and its potential is the one that's more 
to consider or look upon. Some languages also had their ways with 
dealing with those problems: 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiple_inheritance.

I honestly think that Ruby would have been more enjoyable if it had 
supported pure multiple inheritance.
