Well, you could always try and borrow some of what I did for ILU. It
might prove to be a useful starting point. I don't know much about GOOPS
but when I was writing the ILU bindings for Guile I tried a bunch of
different OO systems (tiny-clos, meroon, yasos). I found tiny-clos and
meroon to be incredibly slow (about an order of magnitude slower) compared
to yasos. I know tiny-clos & meroon are much more powerful, but all that
extra baggage wasn't necessary or worth it.
