@goops{} is the object oriented extension to @guile{}. Its @goops{} is the object oriented extension to @guile{}. Its
implementation is derived from @w{STk-3.99.3} by Erick Gallesio and implementation is derived from @w{STk-3.99.3} by Erick Gallesio and
version 1.3 of Gregor Kiczales' @cite{Tiny-Clos}. It is very close in version 1.3 of Gregor Kiczales' @cite{Tiny-Clos}. It is very close in

execution of STKlos programs.
Briefly stated, the @goops{} extension gives the user a full object @goops{} is a full object oriented system, with classes, objects,
oriented system with multiple inheritance and generic functions with multiple inheritance, and generic functions with multi-method
multi-method dispatch. Furthermore, the implementation relies on a true dispatch. Furthermore its implementation relies on a meta object
meta object protocol, in the spirit of the one defined for CLOS protocol --- which means that @goops{}'s core operations are themselves
(@cite{Gregor Kiczales: A Metaobject Protocol}). defined as methods on relevant classes, and can be customised by
overriding or redefining those methods.
