Hi,
	I'm looking for a version of Lisp with CLOS, MOP, _and_ a multitasking  
facility.
	To be more specific, I'd like a full CLOS.  I've looked at the Closette  
from "The Art of the Metaobject Protocol" and it has too many limitations.  For  
example, I want class redefinition, method redefinition, forward-referenced  
superclasses, deductive construction of generic functions, re-definable method  
combination, eql specializers, and :class slot allocation.
	I'd like a reasonable MOP.  I want to be able to redefine the way in  
which methods are applied.  (I'd like to be able to have objects "stand in" for  
other objects and so forth.)  I'd also like to have the classes know how to  
archive themselves to disk, etc.
	I'd also like a multitasking system.  I know that Sun Common Lisp has a  
multitasking system, and I liked what I saw of it.  However their CLOS had no  
MOP, so it doesn't quite measure up.
	
	What's out there that has all this?  Is there a multitasking package  
for AKCL (PCL)?  For the CMU Common Lisp?

Thanks much.

(I will post a summary if there is any interest.)
