Probably "quick on the draw" (or maybe "Really very cool, how about I
make you some porridge?" ;')

It was being generated as one of the auto cvs snapshots a while back,
so I did a few cvs checkout guile-(g)oop(s), until one produced some
code ;).

No biggie, I'm not planning on doing anything major with it right now,
just making sure that I keep from making changes that break it (and,
of course, it's always great to have a new toy to fiddle around with
;). It is tremendously cool, though; excellent job :)

Of course, but I do think it's better style to use `#:' keywords; `#:'
implies this thing is specially interpreted by the reader, which makes
much more sense than symbols being special because they start with `:'
(even though that's traditional lisp, tradition is sometimes a very
stupid thing).
