Oh I see you are right. The latest draft has removed multiple
inheritance. I wonder why, the 1994 draft for multiple inheritance
actually looked ok. Maybe they couldn't agree on details and wanted to
get it out the door? Pretty sad decicision if you ask me. Or maybe when
they went back in 1999, they couldn't figure out their own 1994 document
any more :-).
