 * Below is my personal approach to TypeScript mixins.
 * It's a slightly altered approach derived from regular mixin classes.
 * @see https://mariusschulz.com/blog/mixin-classes-in-typescript
 *
 * Advantages:
 * - Built-in support for extending abstract classes (possible with mixin classes but requires annoying amounts of additional boilerplate)
 * - Type-hinting for super() calls in classes which extend mixins
 *
 * Disadvantages:
 * - Additional boilerplate through the "Mixin" wrapper
 *   This is however compensated by omitting other boilerplate (manual type-hinting).
