With multiple inheritance, the choice of algorithm for Method
Resolution Ordering isn't obvious or trivial. As I understand it,
Python got it wrong for quite some time, allowing "bad"
hierarchies to compile, i.e., classes for which the properties of
local precedence ordering and monotonicity did not hold.
