Edit File: multi-generic.scm

;; This file is no longer necessary with Chicken versions above 1.92
;; 
;; This file overrides two functions inside TinyCLOS to provide support
;; for multi-argument generics.  There are many ways of linking this file
;; into your code... all that needs to happen is this file must be
;; executed after loading TinyCLOS but before any SWIG modules are loaded
;;
;; something like the following
;; (require 'tinyclos)
;; (load "multi-generic")
;; (declare (uses swigmod))
;;
;; An alternative to loading this scheme code directly is to add a
;; (declare (unit multi-generic)) to the top of this file, and then
;; compile this into the final executable or something.  Or compile
;; this into an extension.

;; Lastly, to override TinyCLOS method creation, two functions are
;; overridden: see the end of this file for which two are overridden.
;; You might want to remove those two lines and then exert more control over
;; which functions are used when.

;; Comments, bugs, suggestions: send either to chicken-users@nongnu.org or to
;; Most code copied from TinyCLOS
