Multiple inheritances and descendants?

A Lua thing? Or like a Pascal record?

Block allocations can be handy, so can pointers. I useto drop a pointer on 
top of video memeory, on top of the keybd buffer, onto the ems page, etc, in 
dos, in the olden days. An array of char and an array of byte at the same 
place saved typecasting back and forth. An array of char on top of a string 
type gave me easy indexing. It shouldn't be necessary to do these things, 
but like "goto", they can be handy at times.
