Infact not really like sub-classing at all.
Embeding is putting structs inside other structs and has nothing to do
with the methods associated with those structs. It's alleast exactly
like you'd do it in Java 7 except a bit nicer.

The problem with inheritance has nothing to do with the data
structures and everything to do with the methods.
