Please don't judge MI by C++, that's like judging OOP by PHP or automobiles by Pintos. That problem is easily solvable: in Eiffel, when you inherit from a class, you also have to specify which methods you want to inherit and you can rename them. No ambiguities there and no suprises either.

@mP: no, Eiffel provides true multiple implementation inheritance. Renaming doesn't mean loosing the inheritance chain, nor will it loose the castability of classes.
