You'll also want a method to change the order of the parents (since this 
has an effect on the ranked_parents and on which verb will be called if 
multiple ancestors in different inheritance paths define the same verb.)

You don't want to use delete_parent and add_parent because they might 
result in properties being removed from the object in question 
temporarily and information being lost.
