Description
What is the feature you'd like to have?
In the example below, the Dog class inherits from both Animal and Pet, both of which have a private name_ and age_ member. However, this information is not clearly seen in the decompiler output. It feels like I've duplicated a member in my class. Therefore, we need a way to differentiate between base and derived members, which I believe can be solved using a method similar to the suggestion in https://github.com/Vector35/binaryninja-api/issues/4966#issuecomment-1911896785.

Research direction
Start with the Dog/Animal/Pet example in the issue and read the linked Binary Ninja API issue comment. Done means decompiler output clearly distinguishes members inherited from each base class from members declared by Dog.
