;;; Class precedence lists.

;; Just for fun, we implement a wide selection of precedence list algorithms.
;; C3 seems to be clearly the best, with fewer sharp edges for the unwary.
;;
;; The extended precedence graph (EPG) is constructed by adding edges to the
;; superclass graph.  If A and B are classes, then write A < B if A is a
;; (maybe indirect) subclass of B.  For every two classes A and B, and for
;; every /maximal/ subclass of both A and B (i.e., every C for which C < A
;; and C < B, but there does not exist D such that D < A, D < B and C < D):
;; if A precedes B in C's direct superclass list, then draw an edge A -> B,
;; otherwise draw the edge B -> A.
;;
;; A linearization respects the EPG if, whenever A precedes B in the
;; linearization, there is a path from A to B.  The EPG can be cyclic; in
;; that case, we don't care which order the classes in the cycle are
;; linearized.
;;
;; See Barrett, Cassels, Haahr, Moon, Playford, Withington, `A Monotonic
;; Superclass Linearization for Dylan' for more detail.
