At what point can we consider the API stable? All this inheriting and 
subtyping seems like it would be absolutely brilliant for the Mac toolbox APIs 
(and I suspect also for the PythonWin API's, Mark?) but I've refrained from 
even looking at it (well, I did have a quick peek:-), because (a) I have no 
time, (b) I don't want to chase a changing API and (c) there's some 
methodchain-based poor-mans-inheritance in there already that will undoubtedly 
break.
