I have found this stuff about MI (multiple inheritance) being evil 
many times to be asserted by Java zealots, who similarly decry 
'pointer arithmetic' in C++. 

'classkit_method_copy' looks to me like self-modifying code -- 
something which arguably has more potential for mishaps than MI 
(or pointer arithmetic for that matter).
