changes to meta-objects

[Gregor.pa@Xerox.COM]

In order to make PCL conform to the Common Lisp Object System draft
specification, the next few releases of PCL will include incompatible
changes to the names of the meta-object classes and some of the
generic-functions in the meta-object protocol.

As an example, in the next release of PCL, the name of every
generic-function and class which included the string "DISCRIMINATOR"
will be different.

In order to help me understand how I can help you make this transition
less difficult, I would like to ask people who make use of meta-objects
in their code to send me a message.  In the message, please tell me what
special kinds of meta-objects you define (classes methods
discriminators).  What generic-functions in the existing protocol you
define methods on etc.  If possible, just send the part of your code
that defines your new meta-object class and the methods on it.

Thanks

Gregor
