+Using multiple inheritance in GF. AR 15/9/2004.
+
+The following diagrams show inheritance between abstract syntaxes in two simple systems.
+
+ TopCity
+ / | \
+ / | \
+ SystemCity UserCity Top
+ / \ / \
+ System City User
+
+
+ TopMath
+ / | \
+ / | \
+ SystemMath UserMath Top
+ / \ / \
+ System Math User
+
+
+Idea of each module:
+
+ User -- User's moves on any domain
+ System -- System's moves on any domain
+ Top -- grammar covering both kinds of moves
+ X = Math, City -- possible domains
+ UserX -- User's domain specific moves
+ SystemX -- System's domain specific moves
+ TopX -- all moves on the domain X
+
+In parallel to the abstract syntax hierarchies, we have of course
+hierarchies of concrete syntaxes for any language; this directory contains Eng.
