Java Interface

I like SISC a lot but still find myself using Jython sometimes for the
lack of following features.

i) the type conversion between java types and scheme types should be
automatic for the basic types like bool, int, string, .... For other
types the conversion should be defined/ declared once like in bigloo
module declaration.

ii) importing a class should automatically import its methods as
generic procedures.

iii) java beans should be usable like CLOS objects with constructor
initialization of slots, and getter and setter methods invoked on
using and setting of slot values.

I think the above requires changes to the core of SISC but it will go
a long way in making SISC usable not just a portable R5RS scheme
environment but also one of the best for interacting with Java
libraries.
