Limit of 255 superclasses too low?

Hi,


  does any of you have a project (*any* project) where you have a class
that has more than 255 superclasses? I.e.




class foo // no base classes.
{
};


class bar : foo // one superclass (foo).
{
};


class baz : bar // two superclasses (foo and bar)
{
};


Is that a realistic limit? Or will some more advanced projects run into
trouble with this approach? Does anybody know what figures other
languages (like Objective C) are working with?


Thanks for any clues.

hundreds of superclasses, but what about code written by other programs?
