That's an interesting idea.  I may need to fake multiple inheritance for
this since my representation types are already derived from an abstract
type (which may have non-controlled implementations).  It's not clear to
me how everything will work out with non-controlled components layered on
top of controlled components, but it might work.  Thanks very much for
the suggestion!
