Ok. I'm missing something when it comes to encapsulation. Why on earth would you want to prevent Bar from accessing attributes it inherited from Foo? That's always been something I didn't understand in C++ - why private attributes were not inherited ...

Don't go borrowing trouble. For programmers, this means Worry only about what you need to implement.

Please remember that I'm crufty and crochety. All opinions are purely mine and all code is untested, unless otherwise specified.

I don't know about your coding style, but I prefer to use namespaces and lexically scoped variables, to avoid ACCIDENTAL cluttering of values.

But I concur. The entire concept of namespaces and lexical variables is just stupid. We should just put all our variables and subs in the main namespace.
