Re: [hunchentoot-devel] Request methods suffixed with * -- not backwards compatible?

The idea is that all the relevant objects (request, replies, servers) are CLOS objects (which is already the case) and exported (which isn't the case now) so that you can subclass them and write your own methods which override the default behaviour. This is not possible with functions like, say, the current REQUEST-METHOD that only have optional parameters. In the future, REQUEST-METHOD (with a required parameter) will be a generic function while REQUEST-METHOD* (with an optional parameter like now) will just be a "convenience layer", if you so will.

That makes things a little clearer. Thanks.

I'll be looking forward to how this turns out.
