Thanks for the reference however, I don't think I'll be able to use
that. Since this is a project for a course I'm having on intelligent
planning in my MSc curriculum I don't think I'll be allowed to use those
extra libraries which would facilitate my job compared to the other
students who will use CMUCL.

That's a possibility but it would be harder and there are features I
miss (or I don't know to implement) in class.ss. After all, Eli said
that it'll be added to the PLT-Scheme tree so maybe it'll become
standard. :)

Thanks a lot for your help.

Cheers,
