Will CLOS be able to handle network-wide & presistent objects ?
Two basic (obvious) reasons for network-wide objects are :-
* offload large CLOS applicatons -- both for production & development.
* enable a group of (say 3~5) people attacking a large module where
each person may have 2~3 workstation(s) in his/her office.
As for presistent objects, one obvious reason is to put objects onto
disks/floppies and transplant them onto a different CLOS environment and will
still be functional.
Both issues are no small feat I guess especially the network-wide thing -- one
has to take into account of fault-tolerance (e.g. a dead node) and things like
that.
