Hi guys,

according to the documentation, when GOOPS is loaded, 'display' becomes a generic function.

To wit:

scheme@(guile-user)> (use-modules (oop goops))

scheme@(guile-user)> (class-of display)

$1 = #<<procedure-class> <primitive-generic> 2cfa3c0>

But adding a new method has no effect:

scheme@(guile-user)> (define-class <foo> ())

scheme@(guile-user)> (define-method (display (self <foo>)) (display "foo"))

scheme@(guile-user)> (display (make <foo>)) (newline)

#<<foo> 2f428f0>

Also, applying functions like 'generic-function-methods' to 'display' gives a type error:

>scheme@(guile-user)> (generic-function-methods display)

ERROR: In procedure generic-function-methods:

ERROR: In procedure generic-function-methods: Wrong type argument in position 1 (expecting generic function): #<procedure display (_ #:optional _)>

What am I doing wrong?

Cheers,

Tobias
