It's not even a new feature. It's a (possibly) new (and apparently
sensible) use case of an existing feature.

I think the simple answer is there was no provision for it. The feature copies the Java feature, and I don't think Java has something like what you defined.

Well, the nested classes are pretty much useless without this feature. Except for translating Java code. If I had multiple inheritance, I'd just make the Apple as base class and have all the seeds virtually derive from it. Not having multiple inheritance drove me to try the next best think. And after it failed, I complained about it. And here we are. Is it a difficult thing to fix?
