Remove unwarranted para

* doc/ref/goops.texi (Metaobjects and the Metaobject Protocol): Remove
  para about GOOPS classes belonging to the usual Scheme namespace.
  Interest doesn't justify the space that it takes.

@ -2278,19 +2278,6 @@ Each following section covers a particular area of GOOPS functionality,
and describes the generic functions that are relevant for customization
of that area.
We conclude these remarks by emphasizing a point that may seem obvious,
but contrasts with the corresponding situation in some other MOP
implementations, such as CLOS. The point is simply that an identifier
which represents a GOOPS class or generic function is a variable with a
first-class value, the value being an instance of class @code{<class>}
or @code{<generic>}. (In CLOS, on the other hand, a class identifier is
a symbol that indexes the corresponding class metaobject in a separate
namespace for classes.) This is, of course, simply an extension of the
tendency in Scheme to avoid the unnecessary use of, on the one hand,
syntactic forms that require unevaluated arguments and, on the other,
separate identifier namespaces (e.g. for class names), but it is worth
noting that GOOPS conforms fully to this Schemely principle.
