"Favor composition over inheritance"
------------------------------------

[](#favor-composition-over-inheritance)

This tool allows composing a class or a trait by code, with chunks of previous classes or traits

- constants can be added or copied from a previous class (only to a class)
- properties can be added or copied from a previous class or trait
- methods can be added or copied from a previous class or trait
- traits can be added or copied from a previous class
- interfaces can be added or copied from a previous class (only to a class)
- Before compilation any part can be removed
- Before compilation constants and properties can also be updated

These features can be used to automate changes to third parties source code, without resorting to editing it directly.
