In anytime, if you do dir() in a class B, that extends a class A, you
have all fields of A also.

Example:

    >>> class A:
    ...    def a(self):
    ...        return 0
    >>> class B(A):
    ...    def b(self):
    ...        return 5
    >>> dir(A)
    [....., 'a']
    >>> dir(B)
    [......, 'a', 'b']
