Description

InheritRules is a package that will create new rules for a child symbol from the prescribed rules of parent symbols. So the child inherits the rules of the parents.

This inheritance paradigm is similar to Object Oriented Programming but is more general. It does not rely on the instantiation and message passing nature of OOP.
