Multiple inheritance patches should go in for 7.3, since we support multiple
inheritance in 7.3.  However, I think thought should be put into removing
multiple inheritance in 7.4  - after a user survey perhaps.  If removing
multiple inheritance means we can have perfece, indexable single inheritance
then I think it's worth it.  Unless the spec calls for multiple inheritance
of course.
