I had thought that CLOS incorporated similar strategies. My take on this (having heard people say similar things) is that there is always quite a lot of 'we can do this slightly-unspecified heroic / magic thing in the implementation and everything will be quick', and then the slightly-unspecified thing never gets done because it turns out not to be practical. Don't get me wrong: I *want* CLOS slot access to be quick. --tim _______________________________________________ Lisp Hug - the mailing list for LispWorks users [email protected] http://www.lispworks.com/support/lisp-hug.html
