ZClasses are quite clunky, inflexible and hard to use. The above proposal
suggests a way to get new kinds of objects simply and in a more iterative
fashion. Read the rough proposal above but here is the one line version:
ability to create objects that are lightweight clones of another (prototype
object) the behaviour of which is delegated to the prototype and the data is
added to the new instance only at the time of modification.
