[Xotcl] xotcl::nonposArgs

[Gustaf Neumann]

OpenACS contains for XOTcl 1 compatible slot interface for the basic 
slot features.
The advanced slot features were marked in XOTcl 1 as "experimental", 
some of these
will require some work in XOTcl 2. The NX slot-system is much more advanced
and regular than the XOTcl-1 predecessor, therefore we made this short 
cut, knowing,
that some power-users will need some fiddling. if there are problems,
we try to help as usual.
