RE: isa and hasa in UML

Swell.  So, why are you keeping me in suspense?  What does aggregation
mean?

So far, as far as I can tell (and God knows I could easily be wrong), I
don't see any difference between your is-a and the UML is-a -- except
that I find yours a lot easier to understand.  But it was has-a where I
was told specifically that there was a difference, so let's see what
that difference is.

Once we get these definitions sorted out I think that the WG needs to
choose between the alternatives.  This is not, IMHO, a no-brainer.
