[Xotcl] using @, metadata, ... without xodoc

[Catherine Letondal]

Hi,

I have a question about documentation mechanisms in XOtcl. I would
like to use introspection for documenting my application, but not
for generating HTML files. As far as I have understood:

	- metadata is deprecated (http://media.wu-wien.ac.at/doc/tutorial.html#meta-data)

	- @ object is a kind of /dev/null which has to be redefined somehow

	- xodoc does this but for HTML documentation

So my question is: how do I use or not use @ for generating some kind of
metadata, i.e data which can  be found (and changed by the user if needed) during 
the application? Why is metadata deprecated?

Thanks in advance!
