/**
* This sample diamond interface inheritance with <b>default methods</b>.
* If there's not already a unique method implementation to inherit,
* you must provide it. The inheritance diagram is similar to the following:
* <pre>
* Animal
* / \
* Horse Bird
* \ /
* Pegasus
* </pre>
*
* Both {@link Horse} and {@link Bird} interfaces implements the <code>go</code>
* method. The {@link Pegasus} class have to overrides the
* <code>go</code> method.
*
* The new syntax of super-call is used here:
* <pre>
* <interface_name>.super.<method>(...);
* For example: Horse.super.go();
* </pre> So, Pegasus moves like a horse.
