Yes, I agree with you that multiple views idiom match much better Hyman's
example than the Mixin's one.  

But note that i was not discussing this: I was just arguing that Mixin was
(in my opinion) a more natural implementation of this particular problem,
not a more natural translation of Hyman's code.
