Hi,

Here you export four bindings: one class and three generics.  Those
three generics have methods on <a>.

Here you import the previous four bindings.

However here you declare that you are going to export four new
bindings.  I believe this is the source of your problem.  You are
expecting to extend the three generics and re-export them.  However to
do so you should #:re-export !width, get-width, and set-width.

AFAIU there is no bug here.  David WDYT?

Andy
