 Introduction
 ============
 
 GOOPS is the object oriented extension to Guile. Its implementation is
 derived from STk-3.99.3 by Erick Gallesio and version 1.3 of the Gregor
 Kiczales `Tiny-Clos'.  It is very close to CLOS, the Common Lisp Object
 System (`CLtL2') but is adapted for the Scheme language.
 
 Briefly stated, the GOOPS extension gives the user a full object
 oriented system with multiple inheritance and generic functions with
 multi-method dispatch.  Furthermore, the implementation relies on a true
 meta object protocol, in the spirit of the one defined for CLOS
 (`Gregor Kiczales: A Metaobject Protocol').
 
 The purpose of this tutorial is to introduce briefly the GOOPS package
 and in no case will it replace the GOOPS reference manual (which needs
 to be urgently written now ...).
 
 Note that the operations described in this tutorial resides in modules
 that may need to be imported before being available.  The main module is
 imported by evaluating:
 
      (use-modules (oop goops))
