??? I think I said in a previous message that the goal was to favour the
*user* of a type against  the *designer*...

Of course, we are discussing style here, so it's a matter of taste. 
As I mentionned before, I agree with you (and generally use) a "closed"
style, and I try to keep inheritance as hidden as possible. However the
purpose of this thread was to discuss a notation for those who want pure
OO programming, and pure OO means a lot of visibility! Quoting Booch
(from memory):
"There is a very real tension between encapsulation and inheritence. To
a large degree, inheritance exposes the secrets of the inherited class,
sometimes including their inside view".
