A subclass does make intuitive sense, but we shouldn't design it that 
way unless we can solve the subclassing-hell problem that occurs when 
users want to subclass our parent classes. (Example: consider how hard 
it is for a user to use their own subclass of Component.pm right now, 
given that Subcomponent.pm inherits from Component.pm).
