Yes, you're right.

Good point.

Yes, I see.  OK, I'm convinced by your arguments.

On rereading, I see that SRFI-35's condition types follow a single
inheritance hierarchy, and that compound conditions are a way of
combining different types within the hierarchy.  This is quite
different from the multiple inheritance allowed by GOOPS.  I'd now say
that it remains to be seen whether it will be useful and workable to
combine GOOPS-defined multiple inheritance conditions with those that
can be defined by SRFI-35.
