And if it's needed, the refactoring doesn't need to alter ABI nor API.
It would only add a get_transfer_strategy and a set_transfer_strategy
and reimplement the transfer_msgs method to call the strategy instance
to do it (and let TnyFolder require the subject interface, and in UML it
would aggregate and depend the strategy one).

Anyway :)
