RFC 337...the new version I just sent in says:

   This would allow those who want to to warp Perl OO into Java
   or Python or C++ without these features having to be either
   widely used or embedded in core. A base class could simply define
   attribute handlers which other classes could then inherit from.
   Attributes would be inherited just like subs.

Although I didn't mention the implicit autoviv inheritance idea - that's
cool, though. It's something that probably should have gone into RFC
279, actually.

Sigh. Too many RFC's.
