I have no problems with it. I apologize for not including it in the
eons since you announced it, but I haven't had that particular itch
yet :-)

As for naming, that's up to you. SPOPS isn't an official namespace in
the CPAN sense, but it might make sense for people looking around for
the first time. I don't want to cause you renaming problems, however.

I don't have any ideas for names. IIRC I was going to call this
SPOPS::Inheritable, but that's not quite there I think. What does your
team call it?

Not explicitly. My current plan is:

 - Finish writing tests so that every major class in the system is
 represented. (Almost done with this.) This is broader than it sounds
 because various things shake out as a result. (As is happing right
 now with security stuff.)

 - Convert the rules, and make class generation behaviors, to use
Class::Observable instead of the built-in scheme.

 - After that is working, I want to finally change the
 linking/relationship declarations and behavior as you outlined.

After that... it's time for 1.0 I think :-)
