Right now this is possible with the object_transformer class, wich 
allows you to manually add specific mixins to an object (or remove 
them). A planned feature is to have object type templates, where just 
calling `new` will create an object with a list of specific mixins

This is a planned feature too. Also automatically injecting specific 
mixins. Also automatically replacing given mixins with others.
