Lately I was needing to use multiple inheritance to split behaviour of a
class and modularize it.
But the problem raises when the need is to add operations to a method
already present in one of them from another.
I think the technical solution is the use of 'super'.
Then I tried to write a decorator for automatize the 'super' call,but I
failed.
Next solution is implementing the observer pattern on methods call.
I'm pretty sure there are bugs and ideas to be corrected in the next
code,any help and comment appreciated.
