GOOPS type system can also be used by other OO systems, don't worry
about this.
I think that Goops should be moved into the core distribution as
quick as possible. If someone wants to replace Goops as Guile's
default OO extension he/she must provide an OO system that is
a) much better than goops b) at least as extensible as Goops c) is
backward compatible to Goops.
