And as everyone here knows that there's no such thing as a response 
warranty for the guile-core either, only for cvs stuff in case one has
a contract with cyclic software, there's nothing lost.

Up to now, goops looks well enough to replace the external scheme
oo extensions I tried (bos, yasos, scoops, tinyclos, mos, sos, ...)
who are either inefficient even when hobbitted (which doesn't 
always work) or deviating largely from CLOS look&feel. 

I don't know
yet much about the theory of MOP to value that part at all, though.
The documentation of course could use some ... but it's a lot better
than guile-ref is by now.
