I suppose that if we tried to represent this in C++ classes we would still
end up with a vestigial tail - much like Homo Sapiens.
My original point was that non-inheritance is not allowed in this case. It
would rather defeat the object. Much like paleontologists, when a processor
is unearthed with fuzzy parentage we can invent a missing link. One day we
may even find one of them!
