A new and more intuitive syntax:

class B
end
class A
  inherit B
end

Instead of (but keeping this for backwards compatibility):

class B
end
class A < B
end

Besides, this allows multiple inheritance. Also, inherit could be implemented with just extend plus include?

Module is "multiple inheritance" for ruby. I don't think it is a good idea.
