It would certainly be nice if gen-class had some hooks as extension points (pre-visit-class, pre-visit-method, post-visit-method, post- visit-class or something like that) that would allow user functions to be called. Right now, gen-class seems to be pretty monolithic and has to be reimplemented completely if one has special needs (it's also quite probable that I'm just too stupid to see how it can be extended easily). I know that the addition of these hooks would increase the complexity of gen-class' already complex API even further and that they would allow completely useless bytecode to be generated. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
