notes on the goops dispatch implementation

[Andy Wingo]

Hi all,

I have been going through GOOPS more carefully recently, preparing to
make GOOPS and code that uses GOOPS compilable, preserving all of the
intended optimizations. It turns out the dispatch mechanism is rather
interesting. I write about it here:

Also, I've been reading this paper this evening, and it's *fantastic*:

Happy hacking,

Andy
