Backward compatibility definition of old EIEIO functions in terms of newer equivalent.
The main elements are the old EIEIO defmethod and defgeneric which are
now implemented on top of cl-generic. The differences we have to
accommodate are:
- EIEIO's :static methods (turned into a new eieio--static specializer).
- EIEIO's support for call-next-method and next-method-p instead of
cl-next-method-p and cl-call-next-method (simple matter of renaming).
- Different errors are signaled.
- EIEIO's defgeneric does not reset the function.
- EIEIO's no-next-method and no-applicable-method can't be aliases of
cl-generic's namesakes since they have different calling conventions,
which means that packages that (defmethod no-next-method ..) don't work.
- EIEIO's call-next-method and next-method-p had dynamic scope whereas
cl-generic's cl-next-method-p and cl-call-next-method are lexically
scoped.
