This retains explicitness, while also having a small barrier between classes. It also helps with my goal: I want my code to read as much like scripting as possible, whenever possible. (Tip of the hat to Dave Winer, who suggested this to me as a goal for app writers. Much of the Frontier kernel reads like scripting.)
