Is there some form of multiple inheritance supported in SmallTalk ?
In the Adele Goldberg's book (1983), there seems to be  nothing, but
I've heard that since this time there was some support for multiple
inheritance. 

For instance, in a paper by Stefik and Bobrow ("Object Oriented
programming: Themes and Variations", AI magazine, 84), it is said that
"in Smalltalk, multiple inheritance is provided, but not used much or
institutionalized". 

I'd like to know what is the kind of multiple inheritance supported by
SmallTalk and where can I find informations about it.
