-extend() is another half-assed solution. It's closer to mix-ins than inheritance. Object orientation in Reia is baked into the core language itself. Like Ruby, all of its core types are objects. In Perl and Erlang they are not. Reia factors the core language types into objects, instead of amalgamations of the core types with arbitrary and poorly factored functions which act on them.
