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?

I don't know, you may want to submit an enhancement request.
