They didn't *have* to; they chose to do so, in order to get an initial
version out sooner, not because implementing multiple inheritence was
impossible, but rather because it was complicated.


I think in the long term they do plan to eventually implement
full Eiffel, including multiple inheritence, for the CLR.
