That would be a probably low bugs way...

Not bad from planning viewpoint, but then you're the one preparing to do some coding.

Please just try to simplify whenever you can and don't use any inheritance of objects if you start
using xorn that has that python capability...in such long lived volunteer driven code,
inheritance is likely just to cause bugs rippling through for every bug fixed.

Modern and progressive, huh?  :-)
