;; Base classes for EIEIO.  These classes perform some basic tasks
;; but are generally useless on their own.  To use any of these classes,
;; inherit from one or more of them.

;;; Code:

(require 'eieio)

;;; eieio-instance-inheritor
;;
;; Enable instance inheritance via the `clone' method.
;; Works by using the `slot-unbound' method which usually throws an
;; error if a slot is unbound.

If a slot of this class is referenced, and is unbound, then the parent
is checked for a value.")
   )

Use `clone' to make a new object that does instance inheritance from
a parent instance.  When a slot in the child is referenced, and has
not been set, use values from the parent."

      ;; method if the parent instance's slot is unbound.

    ;; Throw the regular signal.

  "Return non-nil if the instance inheritor OBJECT's SLOT is bound.

;; The singleton Design Pattern specifies that there is but one object
;; of a given class ever created.  The EIEIO singleton base class defines
;; a CLASS allocated slot which contains the instance used.  All calls to
