[plt-scheme] Re: Object system

Dear Matthew,

that's good news in some respect, at least I must have understood something right, but bad news in another.

I would need to add some code in the redifinition *after* the call to the "super method", something like

(sup x y)
(send x get-value)

But that won't work.

Best regards

Guenther
