It is now possible to extend the functionality of some Guile It is now possible to extend the functionality of some Guile
primitives by letting them defer a call to a GOOPS generic function on primitives by letting them defer a call to a GOOPS generic function on
argument mismatch. This functionality is enabled with the GOOPS argument mismatch. This menas that there is no loss of efficiency in
primitive normal evaluation.

[This primitive will disappear again in Guile-1.4 when all primitives
will be primitive generics.]
It is then possible to extend the primitive(s) by defining methods for
them without loss of efficiency in normal evaluation.
Example: Example:
(use-modules (oop goops)) (use-modules (oop goops)) ; Must be GOOPS version 0.2.
