;;; Commentary:
;;
;; The "core" part of EIEIO is the implementation for the object
;; system (such as eieio-defclass, or eieio-defmethod) but not the
;; base classes for the object system, which are defined in EIEIO.
;;
;; See the commentary for eieio.el for more about EIEIO itself.

;;; Code:

(require 'cl-lib)
(require 'pcase)

;; used from the core.

(autoload 'defmethod "eieio-compat" "\
Create a new METHOD through `defgeneric' with ARGS.

The optional second argument KEY is a specifier that
modifies how the method is called, including:
   :before  - Method will be called before the :primary
   :primary - The default if not specified
   :after   - Method will be called after the :primary
   :static  - First arg could be an object or class
The next argument is the ARGLIST.  The ARGLIST specifies the arguments
to the method as with `defun'.  The first argument can have a type
specifier, such as:
  ((VARNAME CLASS) ARG2 ...)
where VARNAME is the name of the local variable for the method being
created.  The CLASS is a class symbol for a class made with `defclass'.
A DOCSTRING comes after the ARGLIST, and is optional.
All the rest of the args are the BODY of the method.  A method will
return the value of the last form in the BODY.
