Date: 04 May 88 2302 PDT From: Dick Gabriel <RPG@SAIL.Stanford.EDU> It seems that the confusion between initialize-new-instance and initialize-instance is too much to bear. How about renaming as follows: initialize-new-instance => initialize-instance initialize-instance => shared-initialize -rpg- I vote in favor of these names. Adding "shared" to the name will clear up a lot of confusion.
