> As discussed on the dev-list [1], resource type inheritance for script/servlet resolution should be implemented as follows:
>    * define an optional property sling:resourceSuperType which may take a resource type used as 
>         the super type of a resource type. This property is stored at the node where the scripts
>         are located for the resource type or at the node itself. (see below)
>    * the resourceSuperType of a property resource is the resourceSuperType of the parent node
>         plus the property name.
>    * define a sling:ResourceSuperType mixin node type, which defines the sling:resourceType
>         property for it to be attachable to any node.
>    * Add Resource.getResourceSuperType() returning the super type of the resource type or
>         null if no such super type exists.
>    * Add support to the Servlet Resolver to resolve scripts not just for the resource type but also
>         for the super type (if defined). This super type resolution takes place before falling back
>         default scripts !
> Sample:
>     /
>     +--- types
>                 +--- type1
>                 +--- type2
>                              +--- sling:resourceSuperType = type1
>                 +--- type3
>     +--- content
>                  +--- en
>                              +--- sling:resourceType = type2
>                  +--- en
>                              +--- sling:resourceType = type2
>                              +--- sling:resourceSuperType = type3
> The resource super types are defined as follows:
>      /types/type1 --> no super type
>      /types/type2 --> type1, due to sling:resoureSuperType property
>      /content/en  --> type1, due to sling:resourceSuperType property in types/type2
>      /conent/de   --> type3, due to sling:resourceSuperType property
