I was going to say: that one's easy, we just write:
inherits object { }
but of course, that doesn't work, because object { } will itself inherit from the Ur-Object.
Pedagogically, it would make more sense to always have to state the super-object explicitly.
We could say
inherits Grace.nothing
or
inherits Grace.defaultMethods
when we want those, or we could make the default Grace.nothing
Amongst other things, I would like to discuss, tomorrow,
- how importing of modules works
- having a Skype (or iChat) online chat room
- the recent email conversations, and whether they have concluded
- mirrors for Grace
- process for revising the Onward! paper
