No, you have this backwards. The protocol is not on Object, Object is on the protocol. Protocols live in namespaces. You can have 10,000 different protocols extended to Object with no bloat problems. You can have multiple methods with the same names but different semantics, and use any or all of them as you see fit. This is a major benefit of decoupling polymorphism from inheritance. There is no bloat, and no sacred place (on Object) where you compete for names. Stu -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
