If you want to convince anyone that subclassing should be replaced by 
something else you should first start by explaining what this new 
concept of yours is. I'm interested in understanding your new concept 
but between all of the posts you wrote and links you posted I'm just not 
able to understand anything you wrote anymore. And I'm too lazy to 
reread everything in hope to get a better understand. It would be time 
to write something that has a structure similar to a paper, otherwise 
there aren't many which may consider your thinkings.
