I do still find myself wondering whether mix-ins will fully substitute for multiple inheritance, and this is a serious language feature. Disputing over third person forms vs. infinitive forms is ... well it's like Python users who argue about the parentheses not being present. I.e., there is no real answer that will satisfy everyone.
