in reply to package Foo; isa Bar; why not?

I see this as a bad idea.

Perl's OO is heavily hacked, but the best way to improve it and make it less hacked, is to improve it from inside out and bottom up, not to hack more.

Before it gets resolved in the core, the best solution is to live with it. In fact, although Perl's OO is not perfect, lots of people use Perl OO and even love it, and lots of the core modules have OO style.

To hack more does not improve anything.
