+Functionality for StitchLayers is broken down into separate "mix-in" classes.
+This allows us to divide up the implementation so that we don't end up with
+one gigantic StitchLayer class.  Individual StitchLayer subclasses can include
+just the functionality they need.
+
+Python multiple inheritance is cool, and as long as we include a `super().__init__()`
+call in every `__init__()` method we implement, we'll ensure that all mix-in
+classes' constructors get called.  Skipping implementing the `__init__()` method in a
+mix-in class is also allowed.
