MOP feature-complete

[Bruno H. <br...@cl...>]

Hi all,

The CLISP MOP implementation is now feature-complete. This means:

  - You can start using it and report bugs where you see some. J=F6rg has
    already started doing this and found a DEFCLASS extensibility bug.
    Please go on doing this!

  - I'm now concentrating on fixing up the loose ends (DEFSTRUCT for exampl=
e),
    adding tests, etc.

  - Documentation: Thanks a lot, Sam, for putting the MOP spec into impnote=
s!

  - We can now think about a release. Before a release, the only other new
    feature I would like to put in are the case-inverted packages. What are
    your plans before a release?

Also, I would find it good to have - for tutorial purposes - a community
maintained set of simple examples of MOP uses: typechecked slots, generic
functions with a C++ like virtual table dispatch, "multiple worlds" and
slot value rollback, persistency, foreign language interface, etc.
Do you know where to put this? I don't think it should be in clisp itself;
CLOCC is not the place because CLOCC stuff shouldn't depend on MOP;
cliki.net is a wiki, not a CVS. Any suggestions?
