Rails - Sep 2006 - Class Table Inheritance - ?

Is class table inheritance possible with MySQL and Rails?  I saw John
Wilger''s cool yet complicated Postgres implementation.  I have looked
for a solution, but I can not find one.  Are there any plans for class
table inheritance for Rails in the future?

I have hacked a plugin based on John Wilger''s approach that
automatically
creates updateable views for PostgreSQL. However, it has no tests and resetting
primary key sequences after fixture loading is an ugly hack. I plan to release
it after fixing these deficiencies. It''d be very easy port it for other
databases that support aggregate views (MySQL views as far as I know can be
based only on a single table).
