Ditto but how to you separate the "rename" lists for multiple inheritance?

    class X (Y rename foo as _sfoo, bar as _sbar; Z):
        pass
                                                ^---- what to use here

How about:

    class X(Y, Z):
        from Y inherit foo as _yfoo, bar as _ybar
        from Z inherit foo as _zfoo, bar as _zbar


Hmmmmm. Don't know if I like that either. Just throwing out ideas.
