Talk:Respond to an unknown method call: Difference between revisions

:::::::: well, personally i think that the general case is not really interesting. the ''usual'' (for my understanding of usual) case is to use this for proxy or dispatch classes. that is, a specialized class that represents arbitrary objects in a remote system. so while every other class is normal, this one accepts any message and forwards that message to a different object or remote system. describing the special case for picoLisp would be interesting in contrast to common lisp where such a specialized case is not possible with CLOS without writing creating a <code>(send)</code> function (i don't know if <code>(call)</code> can be redefined), or adding the checks inside the generic function or <code>(no-applicable-method)</code> because the generic function there is called for any object. btw: is it possible to call an unknown method as <code>(i-do-not-exist> Obj)</code> or is it necesary to use <code>(call)</code>.--[[User:EMBee|eMBee]] 01:32, 8 November 2011 (UTC)
