Description:	BOS is a C-callable library that implements the notion of object and which uses Tcl as its interpreter for interpreted methods (you can have "compiled" methods in C, and mix compiled and interpreted methods in the same object, plus lots more stuff). I regularly (a) subclass and (b) mixin existing objects using BOS to extend, among other things, the set of tk widgets (I have all tk widgets wrapped with BOS "classes"). BOS is a class-free object system, also called a prototype-based object system; it is modeled loosely on the Self system from Stanford.
