As near as I can tell.....CLOS is the superset of all existing lisp 
object oriented extensions :-).  This only makes sense considering the large
number of Lisp vendors out there (including Symbolics) with large number
of existing programs.

Gregor (and the rest of the committee) have been doing an amazing job but
Common Lisp, The Standard, keeps getting bigger and bigger....
