That's where we differ. I feel much more confortable with Bob's translation,
because
Colorable is not an object, it's a "properties".

My_Adapter is an Adapter, so inheritance apply.
My_Adapter is not a "colorable", so i won't inherit from some colorable
class.
Neither is "Colorable" a particular "role" of an Adapter.

It's just a characteristic (note that Colourable is an adjective, Adapter is
a noun), and so i use a Mixin.
You may perfectly use multiple views if you feel better with it. Hyman
choose MI instead of (templates + SI) because the code was simpler to write.
But in my opinion, mixin translate better the problem description.
