+EIEIO is a CLOS (Common Lisp Object System) compatibility layer. Due
+to restrictions in the Emacs Lisp language, CLOS cannot be completely
+supported, and a few functions have been added in place of setf.
+
+What EIEIO supports
+
+ 1.A structured framework for the creation of basic classes with
+ attributes and methods using singular inheritance similar to CLOS.
+ 2.Type checking, and slot unbinding.
+ 3.Method definitions similar to CLOS.
+ 4.Simple and complex class browsers.
+ 5.Edebug support for methods.
+ 6.Imenu updates.
+ 7.Byte compilation support of methods.
+ 8.Help system extentions for classes and methods.
+ 9.Automatic texinfo documentation generator.
+ 10.Several base classes for interesting tasks.
+ 11.Simple test suite.
+ 12.Public and private classifications for slots (extensions to CLOS)
+ 13.Customization support in a class (extension to CLOS)
