Anyone could comment on those problems?
I am working on a design which will heavily use inherittance and I think
on the long run the limitations above could make things to be more work
for me.

I would be willing to put some money forward to have someone work on
improving those limitations. Anyone knows who may be a good candidate to
work on this?
