It is almost certainly planned - but Tim is the only person
who really knows the exact plans for the type system and
he has been pretty busy recently.  

When he gets a chance to read his mail, I'm sure he'll confirm
that this is indeed the case.

(Though I don't really understand how you can subclass the class
structure very well without knowing details about the class like where
the function pointers for the virtual functions are.)
