Multiple inheritance - Using union instead of precedence list

[Martin Boyer <gamin@Moe.McRCIM.McGill.EDU>]

With Victoria Day PCL (or in CLOS in general), is there a way
to control inheritance of slot values in such a way that if a class
inherits a slot from two superclasses, the resulting slot value will be
a list of the values of the superclasses instead of the value of the first
one in the class precedence list.

Using the brown/blue eyes analogy from Keene, p. 13, I want the baby to
one brown eye and one blue eye instead of two brown eyes.

I hope CLOS is more permissive than human genetics...

Thanks,

		Martin
