[r6rs-discuss] [Formal] Simplifying conditions

From: Andre van Tonder <andre>

A couple of further questions:

  - Are condition types generative?
  - Is the "id" argument in (make-condition-type id ----) purely
    for informational purposes, and can two different condition types
    have the same id?

Also, about multiple inheritance: Since a condition type has no special
constructor protocol, what prevents one from having multiple inheritance of
condition types? The analogy would again be a Java-type object system -
while classes do not play well with multiple inheritance,
interfaces don't have any such problem, and condition types are more
like interfaces.

Cheers
Andre
