However that's hardly an ABC. You need to provide a path for someone who wants to implement the ABC without inheriting your implementation.

I may missing something, but it's exactly the same as today's io.py: if you derive the ABC, you inherit the implementations at the same time.

OTOH, as Nick says, one can just use register().
