In subject-oriented programming, a subject is
a collection of classes or class fragments whose {class
hierarchy} models its domain in its own, subjective way. A
subject may be a complete application in itself, or it may be
an incomplete fragment that must be composed with other
subjects to produce a complete application. Subject
composition combines class hierarchies to produce new subjects
that incorporate functionality from existing subjects.
