I have similar thoughts about this as I mentioned to Ruud. Rather than
adding a specific-attribute for a particular use case, more generalized
behavior in attributes seems to be welcome. If we do that, something like
:extends could be built on top of it (though your signature syntax wouldn't
be valid and I think that would need to be a separate proposal.
