/**
 * Usage of the JS inheritance system
 * ----------------------------------
 *
 * To create a class write
 * 
 * MyClass = Class.extend([interfaces, ] functions);
 *
 * where "interfaces" is a single interface or an array of interfaces and
 * functions an object containing the functions the class implements.
 *
 * An interface has to be created in the following way:
 *
 * var IBreathingObject = new Interface({
 * 		breath: function() {}
 * });
 * 
 * var Human = Class.extend(IBreathingObject, {
 * 		walk: function() {
 * 			console.log("Walking");
 * 		},
 * 		speak: function(_words) {
 * 			console.log(_words);
 * 		}
 * });
 * 
 * As "Human" does not implement the function "breath", "Human" is treated as
 * abstract. Trying to create an instance of "Human" will throw an exception.
 * However
 * 
 * Human.prototype.implements(IBreathingObject);
 * 
 * will return true. Lets create a specific class of "Human":
 *
 * var ChuckNorris = Human.extend({
 * 		breath: function() {
 * 			console.log("Chuck Norris does not breath, he holds air hostage.");
 * 		},
 * 		speak: function(_words) {
 * 			console.warn("Chuck Norris says:");
 * 			this._super(_words);
 * 		}
 * });
