[Chicken-users] Tinyclos - a bit disappointing for an ex-stklos user

[Matthew Welland]

Is there a formal reason why tinyclos can't have its own namespace for 
methods? Or, is it just an implementation limitation?

In STklos I was used to doing the following:

(define-class <foo> ()
  ((bar :initform '())))

(define-method length ((self <foo>))
  (length (slot-ref self 'bar)))

(define a (make <foo>))

(length a)  => 0

(define b '(1 2 3))

(length b) => 3

Which, IMHO was very nice. No such luck with Tinyclos.
