 ===== Delegation and cloning =====
-AmbientTalk features object inheritance or delegation. By means of delegation, an object can reuse and extend the defintion of another establishing a parent-child relationship. We identify two kinds of delegation relationships: **IS-A** and **SHARE-A**. These relationships define two different semantics for clonning child objects. Whereas clonning a **IS-A** child also clones its parent, **SHARE-A** child shares the parent of the cloned object.

 The following code shows how to extend objects with a **IS-A** relationship. It uses the ''extend: with:'' language construct.

 ===== Encapsulation =====
-In AmbientTalk, all fields and methods are "public" via selection. Still, a field or method can be made "private" by means of lexical scoping. The following code shows the definition of an object inside the definition of a function. As such, the fields and methods of this object cannot be accessed directly from outside the funuction.
