And, just to be clear, if the class is explicity documented as being subclassable and the documentation states the proper procedure for doing so, that counts as "knowing about the implementation"--even if you don't know the exact implementation, you do have sufficient knowledge. I just don't want someone following up saying, "Well I think it's ok to inherit from a class you know nothing about if it's documented properly." I agree, and that is knowing something about it.
