[Tinymux] Why don't children inherit all attributes?

Grr.  I'm going to kill myself now.  Inheriting &-attributes is working as
advertised.

I guess it's just locks that I'd like to see inherited.  To work around it, an
attribute called @aparent would be cool - actions to take (on the child) when
something is parented to it.  That way, I could soft-code the locking 
mechanisms
I want in place on the @aparent attribute and the ATM (to continue my example)
would automatically elock itself when it was parented.

Thoughts on that?
