Hey, I thought that an abstract inner class would be one that a subclass (of the outer class) must implement, not one that must be extended. Similar to abstract methods. But have you considered enums, traits and interfaces? I assume inner classes would work as expected if defined on traits or enums, but what is going to happen if I try to define one on an interface?
