beach: security based on preventing pointer arithmetics by way of a trusted compiler, has been my conclusion too.

Sorry, was away. Monday mornings are crazy around here. Now I should be around a bit more.

Now, since CLOSOS depends on having a Common Lisp implementation with first-class global environments, I must finish SICL first.

Things are a bit involved because of some fundamental decisions I made, and the purpose of which were to give me a more maintainable system.

I firmly believe that the system code is simpler because of the way I decided to do it, i.e. start by building the MOP classes and generic functions.

i can't do the approximately equal sign but CON~= (CONSS with S's rotated) was one in mind

beach (IRC): tbh an urban dictionary post with only two upvotes isn't very authoritative but hey it makes for easy googling still

Here is an interesting idea. Since I can write (defclass symbol (t) ((%name .. :reader symbol-name) (%package ... :reader symbol-package)) (:metaclass built-in-class)), it might be desirable to define those slot readers to be a special kind of generic function that would allow only a single reader method. Not that it matters much, but it's a cute idea.

I can imagine a system implementer who wants symbol-name to behave like an ordinary function, i.e. disallow auxiliary methods on it.

... namely that you are not allowed to define methods that are applicable to only standardized classes.
