Indeed. Now, if you just want to adjust a style, you'd use a proxy style 
instead of creating a completely new one. It saves you a lot of boring 
reimplementation of functions... It allows you to just override what you 
want to change, instead of starting from scratch. And it can work on top 
of any style (if you want).
