Bits are -never- inherited.  Property values are, via clear properties,
but bits never are.

Actually, the Programmer's Manual says specifically what newly-created
objects' bits will be set to (see the documentation on create() in the
section "Fundamental Operations" in the section "Manipulating Objects").
None of the bits are inherited.

Lord, I hope not.  Children of wizard objects shouldn't be wizardly
(necessarily) and children of fertile objects shouldn't automatically be
fertile.

Rabbits on walls, no problem.    a tear of true repentance.
