Mathematica: POLICY NOTES for the Webel Abstract Data Type (ADT) pseudo classes with inheritance for the Wolfram Language

Section

Mathematica: Webel ADT pseudo classes: TIP: Prefer the Decorator Pattern over multiple inheritance of ADT-Method UpValues! (But not because "inheritance is evil" per se, it isn't.) The base ADT libraries make heavy (and very useful) use in inheritance.

Mathematica: Webel ADT pseudo classes: POLICY: Multiple inheritance is supported via ONE (only) ADT-Class and one or more ADT-MemberInterfaces (which have no ADT-Method UpValues)

Mathematica: Webel ADT pseudo classes: ADTs that define membership of ADT-classes in a domain package have ADT-signature MemberInterface[$$:None] and MUST NOT populate ADT-method UpValues in their definers.
