-Details about any class or object can be retrieved using the function
-@code{eieio-describe-class}. Interactively, type in the name of a
-class. In a program, pass it a string with the name of a class, a
-class symbol, or an object. The resulting buffer will display all
-slot names. Additionally, all methods defined to have functionality
-on this class is displayed.

-You can also use the normal @code{describe-function} to retrieve
-information about a class. If you call it on a constructor function,
-it will also display the class information. If you call it on a
-generic function, all implementations of that generic function will be
-listed, together with links through which you can directly jump to the
-source.
