This will mean we can't support Eiffel, which allows repeated real
inheritance of the same class. It does this by allowing renaming at the
feature level (thats attributes and methods in perl) when inheritance is
declared. Repeated inherited features are shared if they keep the same name
(and they really are the same feature), or split if they don't.
