[Xotcl] info subclass

[Kristoffer Lawson]

In my 1.2 version of XOTcl (OSX) [info subclass] works in the  
following way:

Class Foo

Class Bar -superclass Foo

Foo info class Bar
=> 1

However the current documentation says the parameter given is a  
pattern and the fully qualified name is returned, or empty if no match  
was found. Has this changed at some point? This would be quite an  
incompatible change.

I actually prefer how it works on my installation. I want to  
explicitly check if one class is a subclass of another, as objects,  
not as patterns (patterns can be risky). And it's not actually clear  
what is meant by 'pattern'. Foo is a class, Bar is a class, but Foo's  
actual fully qualified name is ::Foo, so if I wanted an exact search  
it should be against ::Foo, but will it also match 'Foo' (as desired)?
