Theres another unfortunate thing about using methods to define the 'creation form' for LISP objects: the older PCLs don't let you define methods on all LISP objects! Hash table specialization only appeared recently. The current MOP specifiaction has some other problematic points, too: primarily being unable to say (give-me-your-metaclass (find-class 'some-class)), or is there a way? i havent been able to find it.... The other big ???? was, for me, where the class-allocated slot values get saved out TO? In the class object, supposedly, but how? Maybe we'll have to wait for CLtL3.... kerry
