auto_inherit, inherit

[Andy Armstrong]

Eric: auto_inherit, inherit. It allows you to chain a bunch of  
TAP::Harness subclasses so that each sees its predecessor (rather  
than TAP::Harness) as its superclass, right?

So it allows me to install both of

package Foo;
our @ISA = qw( TAP::Harness );

package Bar;
our @ISA = qw( TAP::Harness );

I load Foo and have it subclass T::H and then when I load Bar it  
becomes a subclass of Foo rather than TAP::Harness. Is that how it  
works?

Shouldn't that mechanism be available more generally? In TAP::Base  
for example?	

It feels to me as if it's attempting to be a delegation mechanism -  
shouldn't we just implement / use delegates?
