/**
* 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);
* }
* });
