Inheritance of Slots

[Dick Gabriel <RPG@SAIL.STANFORD.EDU>]

My ``venture'' at re-describing was an attempt to do exactly one
thing: To present the rules completely and unambiguously. LGD and
I had a very hard time understanding them as presented by Moon,
mostly because of English problems, and also because we couldn't
believe that the simple prose explained something as complex  as
it does. 

Once we are all in agreement that these rules do what we want, the
tremendous effort it will take to discover the best writeup can
begin.

As you can all see, the exercise in precision has alerted Danny to
aspects of the rules that he apparently didn't realize during the
earlier discussions. On the topic of accessor and readers, Moon's
writeup left no ambiguity, however.
