Clhs: function ensure-generic-function http://www.lispworks.com/documentation/HyperSpec/Body/f_ensure.htm

honestly i think if you're looking in the standard or MOP for a coherent picture of how method combinations work you'll be disappointed

So, in the expansion of DEFGENERIC, if the :METHOD-COMBINATION option is not given, I can omit it as an argument to ENSURE-GENERIC-FUNCTION, right?

ensure-generic-function is kind of a combination of make-instance and reinitialize-instance, and both of those have specified behavior for unprovided initargs. so it all seems fine

As I recall, the defaulting behavior of this particular keyword argument is not specified.
14:38:37
Bike
sure, but i mean like, with the reinitialize-instance-like behavior you'd expect that non-specification would mean keeping the existing combination, and such

Hello, I must apologise for my absence. Since school started I have not done any CL programming.

beach: Incless is just as incomplete as it was in August, but it should load without issue now if you want to test it.

If I find time, I'll continue my work on it to add what is still missing, but if anyone else feels like it, please tell me and I'll merge anything you implement.
