I have searched and search for this feature with no luck.

I would like to be able to create a base content type (with say CCK) and then create additional content types which inherit from the base. This is similar, in concept, to inheritance you find in object-oriented programming. The fields in the base content-type would be used in the sub-content-type along with any additional fields which are added the the sub-type. The sub-content-type could be used anywhere the base type is being used.

A really simple example:

base_article has the fields title, body, author

magazine_text_article extends base_article and has the fields feature image, callout

magazine_image_gallery_article extends base_article and has the fields images
