I remember that this was your stumbling rock on Tcl
translation. Now I just figured... can GOOPS' generics/methods
help you here?
It's a matter of using methods to define the ``base'' Tcl
library. Of course there is still a bigger problem; if I want a
program to be extensible in Tcl, all functions I provide must
be defined trough methods. Of course, that is a good idea
anyway for other reasons, but will take some education.
