Perhaps my meaning wasn't clear: I meant that no one who's familiar
with the code base has made that argument against inheritance.  It
doesn't impact enough of the code to be a maintenance problem.  There
is quite a bit of inheritance code in tablecmds.c, and one or two
other files, but overall it's a very small issue.
