| 1 | * Things to think about |
| 2 | |
| 3 | + Reorganize output protocol so that metaclasses can override the |
| 4 | layout. Split ~hook-output~ into a pair of generic functions: one |
| 5 | for walking the tree, which should continue to be |
| 6 | ~progn~-combination, and one for producing output, which subclasses |
| 7 | can override. |
| 8 | |
| 9 | + Implement `indirect' slots and messages, which can be added (once a |
| 10 | class has declared support) /without/ breaking the class's ABI. |
| 11 | Indirect messages can be added to an indirect `vtmsgs' structure via |
| 12 | a pointer in the main vtable. Indirect slots must be added to a |
| 13 | region of the `ilayout' located via an offset stored in the vtable. |
| 14 | |
| 15 | * Add `documentation' methods for all of the myriad kinds of things |
| 16 | that can be defined. A useful utility will find methods on a |
| 17 | generic function with an `eql'-specializer in some specified place. |
| 18 | |
| 19 | * Define static initializers for class layouts which obviate the need |
| 20 | for imprinting. |
