ANSI Common Lisp 4 Types and Classes 4.2 Types
4.2.2 Type Relationships
-
The types cons, symbol, array, number,
character, hash-table,
function,
readtable, package, pathname, stream,
random-state, condition, restart,
and any single other type created by defstruct,
define-condition,
or defclass are pairwise disjoint,
except for type relations explicitly established by specifying
superclasses in defclass
or define-condition
or the :include option of destruct.
- Any two types created by defstruct are
disjoint unless
one is a supertype of the other by virtue of
the defstruct :include option.
-
Any two distinct classes created by defclass
or define-condition
are disjoint unless they have a common subclass or
one class is a subclass of the other.
-
An implementation may be extended to add other subtype
relationships between the specified types, as long as they do
not violate the type relationships and disjointness requirements
specified here. An implementation may define additional types
that are subtypes or supertypes of any
specified types, as long as each additional type is
a subtype of type t and a supertype of type nil and the disjointness requirements
are not violated.
At the discretion of the implementation, either standard-object
or structure-object might appear in any class precedence list
for a system class that does not already specify either
standard-object or structure-object. If it does,
it must precede the class t and follow all other standardized classes.
