I see similar posts to this all the time (i.e. [workaround for traditional inheritance](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/workaround-for-traditional-inheritance-features-in-object-oriented-languages/1195/40)) and was wondering if we could consolidate it into the docs somehow.

I feel like each post starts over from scratch with no after-v1.0 end goal in sight
