Hello Zilti,

1. My common understanding of 'clone' method is, with vocabulary
of srfi 263, that slots of an object are copied into a new instance.
Then same parents, same methods, values copied.

2. The message 'clone' is probably not well named and can lead to
confusion (see above). The semantic of its action is nearest to a kind
'new'. But 'new' doesn't seem to be a good choice because also of
confusion because it often has arguments that are copied to the created
instance. Possible other choices: derivate, instanciate, create, make.

3. The message 'clone' create a single slot for its parent. What is its
name? 'parent'? If yes, telling it would be good.

4. The message 'has-ancestor' is related to immediate ancestors or to
full ancestors?

5. You choose 'immediate-' as opposite to 'full-' but other
possibilities exist: 'proper-', 'direct-', 'own-', ... or just nothing.
Is there a reason?

6. From code:

  (define-object P (*the-root-object*) (a set-a! 0))
  (define-object C (P) (a 1))
  (C 'set-a! 2)

What are outputs of:

  (C 'a)
  ((C 'mirror) 'immediate-slot-list)
  ((C 'mirror) 'full-slot-list)

?

7. The message 'delete-slot!' only acts on the 'immediate' ('proper',
'direct', ...) instance. Is it possible to tell it in the text?

Regards
José
