[Xotcl] Re: [Xotcl] calledclass in a filter: what if the calledclass is/has a mixin?

[Uwe Zdun]

Hi,

at the moment there is no introspection support to find the "next" applied 
mixin ... However, the new "self next" should return something like:

  XOTclClasses::UpdateMixin::update

in the filter. Unfortunately it overlooks mixins after a filter at the moment 
... which is rather a bug. I'll fix it ASAP so that it'll work at least in 
the coming (patch) release.

"calledclass" should not return the mixins because otherwise mixins are not 
transparent for the client.

you can, of course, check for mixins with "info mixin" on [self]. And check 
with "info instproc" for the calledproc
