composition-superiority-for-reuse

Status: IN

Four independent arguments converge on composition's superiority over inheritance

Depends on (SL): favor-composition-over-inheritance, inheritance-breaks-encapsulation, inheritance-compile-time-composition-run-time, delegation-composition-as-powerful-as-inheritance
