Well, in Smalltalk-76 we didn't *HAVE* multiple inheritance, but it was often
possible to work around it.  Sometimes, what you really needed was for a class
to implement protocols from two or more classes; window protocol is a typical
example.  A class does not need to be a subclass of class Window to implement
this, although it's a little more work if it isn't.
