1 * Introductory material
3 - generic functions as the base unit
4 - classes group state and assist in method selection
5 - Best. Object System. Ever.
6 ** How method selection/combination works
8 ** MOP + cacheing implementation of same
9 - C-A-M-U-C, COMPUTE-EFFECTIVE-METHOD
11 - Mention CLASS-EQ here?
13 - dispatch based on signum
16 problem: order basically undecideable. EVENP / PRIMEP
18 problems: hijacks method combination for its implementation; EQL
19 specializers makes it basically uncacheable
20 ** Generalized specialisers
21 problem: too complicated/general to implement C-A-M, no specified
22 cacheing, interop between extensions unclear
24 ** double-duty of CLASS
29 - optima? Would be good to demo something that's not in the paper,
30 and would tie up loose end from ELS 1 / ECOOP
33 ** Could be better but is usable now
34 ** Compiler writers speed things up by a factor of 2 every 18 years...
