An imported model's main Thing becomes a subclass of the importing model's

Each model MUST designate one Thing as its main Thing. On import, the imported model's main Thing MUST become a subclass of the importing model's main Thing, and this MUST happen without modifying the imported model.

Non-normative: this is what makes a Component's vocabulary a taxonomy over its constituents rather than a flat bag. See composition.md.
