# This patch is against chicken 1.92, but it should work just fine
# with older versions of chicken.  It adds support for mulit-argument
# generics, that is, generics now correctly handle adding methods
# with different lengths of specializer lists

# This patch has been committed into the CHICKEN darcs repository,
# so chicken versions above 1.92 work fine.

# Comments, bugs, suggestions send to chicken-users@nongnu.org

# Patch written by John Lenz <lenz@cs.wisc.edu>
