Hi yall,

Been working on my first app.  
I have multiple drivers that have similar logic and therefore wanted to apply some inheritance to to reuse logic in a base driver.  
It can compile, but it aint working. Anybody got inheritance working? Or have found a workaround?

```auto
class BaseDriver extends Homey.Driver {
...
}

class MyDriver extends BaseDriver {
...
}

```

It should also work with Drivers, but I’ve never tested it.

Ty for some reason the base should be marked as default for it not and not just regular export.
