So, I poked around in the archives for a good long while to find this
answer that I knew was there ;-), but here 'tis, in this thread:

http://sources.redhat.com/ml/guile/2000-04/msg00010.html

Marius and Mikael's responses are the interesting ones IMO.

You might be right. On the other hand, STKlos has it inline with its
docs: http://www.stklos.org/Doc/html/index.html. And, it would be more
clear at answering the question, "how do I do OO with Guile?". It would
be a lot of work. But I disagree regarding the searchability argument,
the names and indices don't overlap all that much.

Cheers,

Andy
