I beg to differ: Inheritance should be used more often in the future. If 
you build real objects with encapsulated methods and data, their 
instances *are* atomic. However, this makes only sense if you use 
classes for objects and not primarily as namesspaces. Of course, nobody 
can be interested in inheriting from TCEmain or t3lib_div ;)

The flexibility should come from advanced factory functions that know 
what to instanciate in what context. Kind of like makeinstance() on 
steroids.
